Below code will echo like this
('nice apple'),(' nice yellow banana'),(' good berry ')
what I need to do is that I need them to be like this
('nice-apple'),(' nice-yellow-banana'),(' good-berry ')
The challenge is that I could not touch $str, and then I need to use '-' to connect words if there is space between them, If use str_replace space, it will be something like ----nice-apple-. how can I achieve something like this ('nice-apple'), appreciate.
<?php
$str="nice apple,
nice yellow banana,
good berry
";
echo $str = "('" . implode("'),('", explode(',', $str)) . "')";
?>
Try str_replace
$str="nice apple,
nice yellow banana,
good berry
";
$str = array_map(function($dr){ return preg_replace('/\s+/', '-', trim($dr));},explode(',',$str));
$str = implode(',',$str);
echo $str = "('" . implode("'),('", explode(',', $str)) . "')";
Output:
('nice-apple'),('nice-yellow-banana'),('good-berry')
Its bit tricky. Try with -
$str="('nice apple'),(' nice yellow banana'),(' good berry ')";
$v = explode(',', $str); // generate an array by exploding the string by `,`
foreach($v as $key => $val) {
$temp = trim(str_replace(["(", "'", ")"], "", $val)); //remove the brackets and trim the string
$v[$key] = "('".str_replace(" ", "-", $temp)."')"; // place the `-`s
}
$new = implode(",", $v); // implode them again
var_dump($new);
you need to get rid of the new lines first then it'll work.
<?php
$str="nice apple,
nice yellow banana,
good berry
";
$arr = explode(',', str_replace([ "\r\n", "\n" ], "", $str));
$arrCount = sizeOf($arr);
for($x = 0; $x < $arrCount; $x++) {
while (preg_match('/(\w)\s(\w)/', $arr[$x])) {
$arr[$x] = preg_replace('/(\w)\s(\w)/', '$1-$2', $arr[$x]);
}
}
echo $str = "('" . implode("'),('", $arr) . "')";
?>
('nice-apple'),(' nice-yellow-banana'),(' good-berry ')

I have a PHP array and I want to split it into a custom sentence.
$array = array('apple','blue','red','green');
I want the output below:
apple
apple blue
apple blue red
apple blue red green
You could try this simple solution
$array = array('apple','blue','red','green');
$sentence = "";
foreach($array as $key) {
if($sentence === ""){
$sentence = $key;
}
else{
$sentence = $sentence." ".$key;
}
echo $sentence;
echo "</br>";
}
Pretty simple lightweight solution
$array = array('apple','blue','red','green');
$str = '';
foreach($array as $item) {
$str = $str . ' ' . $item;
echo(ltrim($str) . '<br>');
}
Use for-loop with array_slice to Extract a slice of the array each time, And use implode(glue, pieces) to join the values of the array with a space.
$array = array('apple','blue','red','green');
for ($i=1; $i <= count($array) ; $i++) {
echo implode(' ', array_slice($array, 0, $i))."</br>";
}
Prints:
apple
apple blue
apple blue red
apple blue red green
This is very simple
$array = array('apple','blue','red','green');
$new = "";
for($i=0; $i<sizeof($array); $i++) {
for($j=0; $j<=$i; $j++){
$new .= $array[$j]." ";
}
$new .= "<br>";
}
echo $new;
I have a string that looks like this:
$str = "Col1, Col2, Col3";
My question is how can I make it look like this
FORMAT(SUM('Col1'),2),FORMAT(SUM('Col2'),2),FORMAT(SUM('Col3'),2)
I am trying to use implode and explode but it's not working for me.
Here is my attempt:
$sample = "Col1, Col2, Col3";
$test = explode(",", $sample);
$test = "'" . implode("', FORMAT(SUM('", $test) . "), 2";
$sample = "Col1,Col2,Col3";
$test= explode(',',$sample);
$_test = '';
foreach($test as $t){
$_test .= "FORMAT(SUM('$t'),2),";
}
$_test = rtrim($_test,',');
I dont know if you can achiev this using explode, but you for sure can using a foreach loop.
$sample = 'Col1,Col2,Col3';
$result = '';
$parts = explode(',', $sample);
foreach ($parts as $part) {
$result .= 'FORMAT(SUM(' . $part . '), 2)';
$result .= (end($parts) !== $part) ? ', ' : '';
}
This runs over each part of the exploded array and adds the desired string plus a comma if its not the last element.
You can also use array_walk to achieve the requested result:
$sample = 'Col1,Col2,Col3';
$parts = explode(',', $sample);
$str = '';
array_walk($parts, function ($element) use (&$str) {
$str .= 'FORMAT(SUM(' . $element . '), 2), ';
});
$result = rtrim($str, ', ');
EXAMPLE:
input = 2
text = aa bb cc
Will become: aa cc
The input for position is $_POST['position']
i have
$words = explode(" ", $_POST['string']);
for ($i=0; $i<count($words); $i++){
echo $words[$i] . " ";
}
$to_remove = 2;
$text = "aa bb cc";
$words = explode(' ', $text);
if(isset($words[$to_remove -1])) unset($words[$to_remove -1]);
$text = implode(' ', $words);
Pulling out the big guns REGEX !!!
$string = 'aa bb cc dd';
$input = 2;
$regex = $input - 1;
echo preg_replace('#^((?:\S+\s+){'.$regex.'})(\S+\s*)#', '$1', $string);
Output: aa cc dd
Foreach loops tend to make it a little easier to understand (IMO). Looks cleaner too.
$pos = 2;
$sentence = explode(" ", $_POST['string']);
foreach ($sentence as $index => $word) {
if ($index != $pos - 1) {
$result .= $word . ' ';
}
}
echo $result;
This sounds like a homework question. I'll take a stab at it though:
Code:
<?php
$string = trim($_POST['string']);
$parts = explode(" ", string);
$newString = "";
$position = intval($_POST['position']);
for($a = 0; $a < count($parts); $a++) {
if($a != $position) { // or $a != ($position - 1) depending on if you passed in zero based position
$newString = $newString . $parts[$a] . " ";
}
}
$newString = trim($newString);
echo "Old String: " . $string . "<br />";
echo "New String: " . $newString;
?>
Output:
Old String: aa bb cc
New String: aa cc
$input = 2;
$words = explode(" ", $_POST['string']);
unset($words[$input-1]);
$words = implode(" ", $words);
echo $words;
What I have is this array:
$l = "apple,orange,tomato,banana,carrot,celery";
What i'm trying to do is something along these lines:
apple OR orange OR tomato OR banana OR carrot OR celery
I've gotten this far:
$l = explode(",", $l);
if (count($l) > 1){
foreach ($l as $s){
echo " OR " . $s;
}
}
Doing it this way puts OR in front of all the pieces of the array:
OR apple OR orange OR tomato OR banana OR carrot OR celery
What would be the proper way to count the first piece, then append to all the additional pieces?
try this:
$array = explode(",", $l);
echo implode(" OR ", $array);
Or in one liner:
echo implode(" OR ", explode(",", $l));
Use str_replace:
$string = 'oranges,apples,pineapple';
echo str_replace(',', ' OR ', $string);
// Outputs: oranges OR apples OR pineapple
one line skill
$array = implode (' OR ', explode (',', $array));
You may try with this :)
echo preg_replace('/,/', " OR ", "apple,orange,tomato,banana,carrot,celery");
or in case you want to treat the information :
$pieces = explode (',', $array);
$result = '';
$i = 0;
foreach ($pieces as $p) {
$i++;
if ($p === 'banana') // in case you hate banana
continue;
$result .= $p;
if ($i != count($pieces))
$result .= ' OR ';
}
I'm taking input from textarea form and put it in the long line.
Input is like this:
Country: France
City: Paris
Street: Champ
Then put it in the long line:
$line = $_POST['input'];
now, I need to replace spaces and new lines with <SP> and <BR>, so I do this:
$line = str_replace(" ","<SP>",$line);
$line = str_replace("\n","<BR>",$line);
but I get this:
Country:<SP>France <BR> <BR>City:<SP>Paris <BR> <BR>Street:<SP>Champ
Now, if insted of \n I tried this:
$line = str_replace("\r","<BR>",$line);
I get similar result. If I do them both i Get similar results which obviously has some spaces in it. So Then I do this:
$line = str_replace(" ","",$line);
but it stays the same.
My whole code is:
$line = str_replace(" ","<SP>",$line);
$line = str_replace("\n","<BR>",$line);
$line = str_replace(" ","",$line);
echo $line;
How to remove spaces in this case?
Edit:
I did bin2hex and found out that the space is actually carriage return \r.
So this is the solution:
$line = str_replace("\r","",$line);
Why did \r behave like space in this case?
the comments will probably suffice but I thought I'd share this snippet, which given your example I had a punt at what you are trying to achieve.
<?php
// example string data
$str = "key1 value1 key2 value2 key3 value3";
// clean string
$str = str_replace(" ", " ",$str);
$str = str_replace("\n", " ", $str);
$str = str_replace("\r", " ", $str);
$arr = explode(" ", $str);
$out = "<ul>";
$cnt = 1;
foreach($arr as &$val) {
if ($cnt++ % 2 == 0) {
continue;
} else {
$out = $out . "<li>" . $val . ": " . current($arr) . "</li>";
}
}
$out = $out . "</ul>";
echo $out;
// output source
// <ul><li>key1: value1</li><li>key2: value2</li><li>key3: value3</li></ul>
?>
