PHP difficult preg_match - php

Question

I'm trying to manage some files on my personal web server that I use for XBMC but all the files (Movies from YIFY) have names like
Jumanji.1995-720p.YIFY.mp4
Silver.Linings.Playbook.2012.1080p.x264.YIFY.mp4
American Hustle (2013) 1080p BrRip x264 - YIFY.mp4
Notice that some of the items are separated with . and others with _ or spaces.
So what I need to do is to preg_match the file to an array of (title,year,quality) I only know some preg_match basics.
But this is way to hard for me.
e.g
echo extract('American Hustle (2013) 1080p BrRip x264 - YIFY.mp4');
This should output =
array(
'title' => 'American Hustle',
'year' => '2013',
'quality' => 1080p
);
Thanks in advance

Answer 1

^(.*?)\W+(\d{4})(?=[\W ]+?(\d{3,4})p)
You can try this.See demo.

The regex starts and captures anything from start to a non word letter which can be one or more and has 4 digits ahead of it.After this a lookahead makes sure that after capturing \d{4} there are non word letters which can be one or more and has 4 digits of p ahead of it.Because of lookahead we capture the last 4 digits which have only non word characters and 4 digits p after them.

Answer 2

you have 3 differents formats then you need 3 differents parsing types
try this :
$tests = array(
// format 1
"Jumanji.1995-720p.YIFY.mp4",
"Silver.Linings.Playbook.2012-1080p.YIFY.mp4",
"American.Hustle.2013-1080p.YIFY.mp4",
// format 2
"Jumanji.1995.720p.x264.YIFY.mp4",
"Silver.Linings.Playbook.2012.1080p.x264.YIFY.mp4",
"American.Hustle.2013.1080p.x264.YIFY.mp4",
// format 3
"Jumanji (1995) 720p BrRip x264 - YIFY.mp4",
"Silver Linings Playbook (2012) 1080p BrRip x264 - YIFY.mp4",
"American Hustle (2013) 1080p BrRip x264 - YIFY.mp4",
);
function extractInfos($s) {
$infos = array();
if (FALSE === strpos($s, ".YIFY.")) {
// format 3
$tab = explode(" ", $s);
$yearIndex = count($tab) - 6;
$infos["year"] = trim($tab[$yearIndex], "()");
$infos["quality"] = $tab[$yearIndex + 1];
array_splice($tab, $yearIndex);
$infos["title"] = implode(" ", $tab);
} else {
// format 1 or 2
$tab = explode(".", $s);
$yearIndex = count($tab) - 3;
if (FALSE === strpos($tab[$yearIndex], "-")) {
// format 2
$yearIndex -= 2;
$infos["year"] = $tab[$yearIndex];
$infos["quality"] = $tab[$yearIndex + 1];
} else {
// format 1
list($infos["year"], $infos["quality"]) = explode("-", $tab[$yearIndex]);
}
array_splice($tab, $yearIndex);
$infos["title"] = implode(" ", $tab);
}
return $infos;
}
echo "<table border=\"1\">";
foreach ($tests as $s) {
$infos = extractInfos($s);
?>
<tr>
<td>
<?php echo $infos["title"];?>
</td>
<td>
<?php echo $infos["year"];?>
</td>
<td>
<?php echo $infos["quality"];?>
</td>
</tr>
<?php
}
echo "</table>";
