I have make a try like this:
$string = "localhost/product/-/123456-Ebook-Guitar";
echo $string = substr($string, 0, strpos(strrev($string), "-/(0-9+)")-13);
and the output work :
localhost/product/-/123456 cause this just for above link with 13 character after /-/123456
How to remove all? i try
$string = "localhost/product/-/123456-Ebook-Guitar";
echo $string = substr($string, 0, strpos(strrev($string), "-/(0-9+)")-(.*));
not work and error sintax.
and i try
$string = "localhost/product/-/123456-Ebook-Guitar";
echo $string = substr($string, 0, strpos(strrev($string), "-/(0-9+)")-999);
the output is empty..
Assume there are no number after localhost/product/-/123456, then I will just trim it with below
$string = "localhost/product/-/123456-Ebook-Guitar";
echo rtrim($string, "a..zA..Z-"); // localhost/product/-/123456
Another non-regex version, but require 5.3.0+
$str = "localhost/product/-/123456-Ebook-Guitar-1-pdf/";
echo dirname($str) . "/" . strstr(basename($str), "-", true); //localhost/product/-/123456
Heres a more flexibility way but involve in regex
$string = "localhost/product/-/123456-Ebook-Guitar";
echo preg_replace("/^([^?]*-\/\d+)([^?]*)/", "$1", $string);
// localhost/product/-/123456
$string = "localhost/product/-/123456-Ebook-Guitar-1-pdf/";
echo preg_replace("/^([^?]*-\/\d+)([^?]*)/", "$1", $string);
// localhost/product/-/123456
This should match capture everything up to the number and remove everything afterward
regex101: localhost/product/-/123456-Ebook-Guitar
regex101: localhost/product/-/123456-Ebook-Guitar-1-pdf/
Not a one-liner, but this will do the trick:
$string = "localhost/product/-/123456-Ebook-Guitar";
// explode by "/"
$array1 = explode('/', $string);
// take the last element
$last = array_pop($array1);
// explode by "-"
$array2 = explode('-', $last);
// and finally, concatenate only what we want
$result = implode('/', $array1) . '/' . $array2[0];
// $result ---> "localhost/product/-/123456"

i want to find the text between title tags. how to do this?
for example in this page title contains 'One Punch Man - MyAnimeList.net' i want to get that
Just use string replace function:
$string = '<BoomBox>';
$string = str_replace('<', '', $string);
$string = str_replace('>', '', $string);
echo $string; // output: Boombox
http://php.net/manual/en/function.str-replace.php
You edited your answer, and we can now see you are dealing with XML/HTML. It's always better to work with the DOM classes. Never use regex! There is a famous Stack Overflow post explaining why never to parse html with regex. Try this solution instead:
<?php
$dom = new DOMDocument();
$dom->loadHTML('<title>BoomBox</title>');
echo $dom->getElementsByTagName('title')->item(0)->textContent;
http://php.net/manual/en/class.domdocument.php
http://php.net/manual/en/class.domnode.php
See it working here https://3v4l.org/EjPQd
You can use preg_replace();, or strip_tags();.
Example preg_replace();:
$str = '> One Punch Man';
$new = preg_replace('/[^a-zA-Z0-9 \p{L}]/m', '', $str);
echo $new;
Output: One Punch Man
Above example will only allow a-z, A-Z and 0-9. You can expand this.
Example strip_tags();:
$str = '<title> BoomBox </title>';
$another = strip_tags($str);
echo $another;
Output: BoomBox
Documentation:
http://php.net/manual/en/function.preg-replace.php // preg_replace();
http://php.net/manual/en/function.strip-tags.php // strip_tags();
You can also use a single call to str_replace with the ['<','>'] as the search argument:
$string = '<BoomBox>';
echo str_replace(['<', '>'], '', $string) . PHP_EOL;
// => Boombox
Or, you may use a regex with preg_replace (especially, if you plan on adding more restrictions for in-context matching to it):
echo preg_replace('~[<>]~', '', $string);
// => Boombox
See the PHP demo.
I have a string example
this-is-the-example/exa
I want to trim /exa from the above line
$string1 = "this-is-the-example/exa";
$string2 = "/exa";
I am using rtrim($string1, $sting2)
But the output is this-is-the-exampl
I want to this-is-the-example as output.
Both string are dynamic and may have multiple occurrences within the string. But I only want to remove the last part. Also its not compulsory that the string2 has / in it. this may be normal string too. like a, abc too..
There are various approaches you can use for this:
With substr(DEMO):
function removeFromEnd($haystack, $needle)
{
$length = strlen($needle);
if(substr($haystack, -$length) === $needle)
{
$haystack = substr($haystack, 0, -$length);
}
return $haystack;
}
$trim = '/exa';
$str = 'this-is-the-example/exa';
var_dump(removeFromEnd($str, $trim));
With regex(DEMO):
$trim = '/exa';
$str = 'this-is-the-example/exa';
function removeFromEnd($haystack, $needle)
{
$needle = preg_quote($needle, '/');
$haystack = preg_replace("/$needle$/", '', $haystack);
return $haystack;
}
var_dump(removeFromEnd($str, $trim));
First explode the string, remove last element from exploded array using array_pop, then implode it back again with /.
$str = "this-is-the-example/exa";
if(strpos($str, '/') !== false)
{
$arr = explode('/', $str);
array_pop($arr);
$str = implode('/', $arr);
// output this-is-the-example
}
This will work event if you have multiple / in the URL and will remove last element only.
$str = "this-is-the-example/somevalue/exa";
if(strpos($str, '/') !== false)
{
$arr = explode('/', $str);
array_pop($arr);
$str = implode('/', $arr);
// output this-is-the-example
}
Say hi to strstr()
$str = 'this-is-the-example/exa';
$trim = '/exa';
$result = strstr($str, $trim, true);
echo $result;
You can use explode
<?php
$x = "this-is-the-example/exa";
$y = explode('/', $x);
echo $y[0];
the second parameter of rtrim is a character mask and not a string, your last "e" is trimed and that's normal.
COnsider using something else, regexp for example (preg_replace) to fit your needs
This keeps everything before "/" char :
$str = preg_replace('/^([^\/]*).*/','$1', 'this-is-the-example/exa');
This removes the last part.
$str = preg_replace('/^(.*)\/.*$/','$1', 'this-is-the-example/exa/mple');
Hope this helps. :)
Simply try this code:
<?php
$this_example = substr("this-is-the-example/exa", 0, -4);
echo "<br/>".$this_example; // returns "this-is-the-example"
?>
To allow for error handling, if the substring is not found in the search string ...
<?php
$myString = 'this-is-the-example/exa';
//[Edit: see comment below] use strrpos, not strpos, to find the LAST occurrence
$endPosition = strrpos($myString, '/exa');
// TodO; if endPosition === False then handle error, substring not found
$leftPart = substr($myString, 0, $endPosition);
echo($leftPart);
?>
outputs
this-is-the-example
Here is my character
/public/proj/index.php/home
/public/proj/index.php/test
/public/proj/home
/public/proj/test
I just need to replace the character after the right most '/' to login. So that it will be
/public/proj/index.php/login
/public/proj/index.php/login
/public/proj/login
/public/proj/login
Try this -
$str = "/public/proj/index.php/home";
$vals = explode('/', $str);
$vals[count($vals)-1] = 'login';
$str = implode('/', $vals);
var_dump($str);
This should work for you:
$str = "/public/proj/home";
echo $str = substr_replace($str, "login", -1*(strlen(basename($str))), strlen(basename($str)));
Output:
/public/proj/login
Here is my PHP code,
$string = 'https://www.mydomain.lk/';
$wordlist = array("http://", "www.", "https://", "/");
foreach ($wordlist as &$word) {
$word = '/\b' . preg_quote($word, '/') . '\b/';
}
echo $string2 = preg_replace($wordlist, '', $string);
I want to remove last "/" from $string.
so i add the "/" to $wordlist array, but its not working.
can somebody help me to fix this.
Thanks.
It seems that for the most part you wish to extract the hostname:
$host = parse_url($url, PHP_URL_HOST);
Removing the leading www. can then be done separately.
preg_replace('/^www\./', '', $host);
You want to only replace / at the end of the string, so you need a $, like /$, but preg_quote would end up escaping the $.
The best way to remove a trailing / is using rtrim, like Sudhir suggested. Alternatively you could remove the preg_quote loop and just use regular expressions in your $wordlist:
$string = 'https://www.mydomain.lk/';
$wordlist = array("#https?://#", "#www\.#", "#/$#");
echo $string2 = preg_replace($wordlist, '', $string);
you could use rtrim():
$string = 'https://www.mydomain.lk/';
echo rtrim($string, '/'); //gives --> https://www.mydomain.lk
Try this
$url= 'https://www.mydomain.lk/';
echo $newurl = rtrim($url,"/");
Output like this format
https://www.mydomain.lk
Please try this:
$string = 'https://www.mydomain.lk/';
$uri = parse_url($string);
$domain = str_replace("www.", "", strtolower($uri['host']));
echo $domain;
How can I extract 4 from this string?
$string = "Rank_1:1:4";
I'm trying to get pagerank from Googles server, and the last value (4) is the actual pagerank.
Try
$string = "Rank_1:1:4";
$data = explode(':',$string);
echo end($data);
EDIT
as per #MichaelHampton, if they add more fields later, then use as below
$string = "Rank_1:1:4";
$data = explode(':',$string);
echo $data[2];
PHP has so many string function you can use ...
Variables
$find = ":";
$string = "Rank_1:1:4";
Using substr
echo substr($string, strrpos($string, $find) + 1);
Using strrchr
echo ltrim(strrchr($string, $find),$find);
$pattern = '/:\d+$/';
preg_match($pattern, $string, $matches);
$rank = substr($matches[0],1);
