Need to extract words from string in php [duplicate] - php

Extract words from string with preg_match_all
(7 answers)
Closed 8 years ago.
I need to extract the names from the following string:
$contact = "John96783819Dickson97863424"
i tried using this:
preg_match('/[a-zA-Z]/',$contact,$matches);
but i get an array with all the alphabets individually in the array.
Desired Output:
Array ([0] => 'John', [2] => 'Dickson')
And now it gets complicated. The same reggae should extract this
$contact = 'Vincent Tan96123179Lawrence Thoo90603123Ryan Ong91235721'
into this
Array ([0] => 'Vincent Tan', [2] => 'Lawrance Thoo' , [3] => 'Ryan Ong')
How do i do that?

All you need is to quantify the character class using +
/[a-zA-Z]+/
+ matches one occurence of presceding regex
Example : http://regex101.com/r/bI6aH1/1
preg_match_all('/[a-zA-Z]+/',$contact,$matches);
Will give output as
Array ( [0] => John [1] => Dickson )

preg_match('/[a-zA-Z]+/',$contact,$matches);
The /[a-zA-Z]/ means match any ONE letter, anywhere in the string. Adding the + in /[a-zA-Z]+/ means match one or MORE sequential letters.

PHP: str_word_count not working on my string, anyone see the error? [duplicate]

This question already has answers here:
Numeric Values and Special charectors in str_word_count function
(4 answers)
Closed 5 years ago.
I have a string "34_56_67_78_97 34_56_67_78_97 23_45_56_67_89 34_56_77_88_96 45_56_66_78_88 56_67_67_78_90" but when I run the code below the array comes back as null. The numbers linked with hyphens are a numerical word from my point of view and I would like to know which numerical words appear in the string 2 or more times. In this case the answer would be the numerical word 34_56_67_78_97.
$string="34_56_67_78_97 34_56_67_78_97 23_45_56_67_89 34_56_77_88_96 45_56_66_78_88 56_67_67_78_90"
$words = str_word_count($string, 1);
$frequency = array_count_values($words);
$result = array_filter($frequency, function ($x) { return $x >= 13; });
Found a link to the question here at stackoverflow:
Numeric Values and Special charectors in str_word_count function
So my code should look like this to make it work:
$str="34_56_67_78_97 34_56_67_78_97 23_45_56_67_89 34_56_77_88_96 45_56_66_78_88 56_67_67_78_90";
$somearray = str_word_count($str, 1, '1234567890:#&_');
print_r($somearray);
Print out of code:
Array
(
[0] => 34_56_67_78_97
[1] => 34_56_67_78_97
[2] => 23_45_56_67_89
[3] => 34_56_77_88_96
[4] => 45_56_66_78_88
[5] => 56_67_67_78_90
)

Geting two matches in a string using a regular expression [duplicate]

PHP Regular Expression: string from inside brackets
(3 answers)
Closed 5 years ago.
My string:
fields[name_1]
I want to get fields and name_1 using regex.
I'm know about preg_match_all(), but I'm not friends with regular expressions.
This can be used for direct match:
$string = 'fields[name_1]';
preg_match('/(.+)\[(.+)\]/', $string, $matches);
print_r($matches);
You get:
Array
(
[0] => fields[name_1]
[1] => fields
[2] => name_1
)
So, $matches[1] and $matches[2] are what you needed.
Still I am unclear about your exact need!
Here are the explanation for the Regex:
https://regex101.com/r/PcJzQL/3
http://www.phpliveregex.com/
https://www.functions-online.com/preg_match.html
THere are uncounted examples for this alone here on SO. A simple search would have shown you what you need. Anyway, to get you going:
<?php
$subject = 'fields[name_1]';
preg_match('/^(.+)\[(.+)]$/', $subject, $tokens);
print_r($tokens);
The output of that obviously is:
Array
(
[0] => fields[name_1]
[1] => fields
[2] => name_1
)

Split magnet link with PHP [duplicate]

Magnet links library for PHP
(3 answers)
Closed 8 years ago.
I need two items in a magnet link:
magnet:?xt=urn:btih:0eb69459a28b08400c5f05bad3e63235b9853021&dn=Splinter.Cell.Blacklist-RELOADED&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Ftracker.com%3A80&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Ftracker.publicbt.com%3A80&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Ftracker.istole.it%3A6969&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Ftracker.ccc.de%3A80&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Fopen.demonii.com%3A1337
the value of btih:
0eb69459a28b08400c5f05bad3e63235b9853021
and the value of the first udp:
udp://tracker.com:80
How to do this with PHP?
As parse_url() wont help in this situation your have to use regex to parse the string, and then further manipulate the string to get the trackers. So something like:
<?php
$string = 'magnet:?xt=urn:btih:0eb69459a28b08400c5f05bad3e63235b9853021&dn=Splinter.Cell.Blacklist-RELOADED&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Ftracker.com%3A80&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Ftracker.publicbt.com%3A80&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Ftracker.istole.it%3A6969&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Ftracker.ccc.de%3A80&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Fopen.demonii.com%3A1337';
preg_match('#magnet:\?xt=urn:btih:(?<hash>.*?)&dn=(?<filename>.*?)&tr=(?<trackers>.*?)$#', $string, $magnet_link);
//0eb69459a28b08400c5f05bad3e63235b9853021
echo $magnet_link['hash'];
//Splinter.Cell.Blacklist-RELOADED
echo $magnet_link['filename'];
/*[trackers] => Array
(
[0] => udp://tracker.com:80
[1] => udp://tracker.publicbt.com:80
[2] => udp://tracker.istole.it:6969
[3] => udp://tracker.ccc.de:80
[4] => udp://open.demonii.com:1337
)
*/
$magnet_link['trackers'] = explode('&', urldecode(str_replace('tr=','', $magnet_link['trackers'])));
//so to get first tracker
$magnet_link['trackers'][0];
?>
As recommended in the question comments, there appear to be several existing libraries for magnet links - you should probably take a look at these.
If you want to do it yourself however, one way would be to regex for the values. Let's assume that your magnet link is assigned to a variable $link like so:
$link ='magnet:?xt=urn:btih:0eb69459a28b08400c5f05bad3e63235b9853021&dn=Splinter.Cell.Blacklist-RELOADED&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Ftracker.com%3A80&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Ftracker.publicbt.com%3A80&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Ftracker.istole.it%3A6969&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Ftracker.ccc.de%3A80&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Fopen.demonii.com%3A1337';
A quick way to get each value is to run a separate preg_match() for each value - you could combine the two regexes and run preg_match_all() but let's keep it basic. We're going to use lookbehind assertions to try and find the required values.
// your magnet link
$link = 'magnet:?xt=urn:btih:0eb69459a28b08400c5f05bad3e63235b9853021&dn=Splinter.Cell.Blacklist-RELOADED&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Ftracker.com%3A80&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Ftracker.publicbt.com%3A80&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Ftracker.istole.it%3A6969&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Ftracker.ccc.de%3A80&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Fopen.demonii.com%3A1337';
// urls are encoded, let's reverse that
$link = urldecode($link);
// first regex searches for 'btih:' and matches subsequent
// word characters ([a-zA-Z0-9_])
// match(es) are captured as an array to $matchBtih
preg_match('/(?<=btih:)\w+/', $link, $matchBtih);
// same again, more or less, capturing word characters, colon and full-stop
// match(es) are captured as an array to $matchUdp
preg_match('/(?<=tr=)udp:\/\/[\w\:\.]+/', $link, $matchUdp);
// show results
var_dump($matchBtih, $matchUdp);
Should yield:
array (size=1)
0 => string '0eb69459a28b08400c5f05bad3e63235b9853021' (length=40)
array (size=1)
0 => string 'udp://tracker.com:80' (length=20)
Hope this helps :)

explode string one by one character including space [duplicate]

This question already has answers here:
php explode all characters [duplicate]
(4 answers)
Closed 8 years ago.
how i can explode string into an array. Acctually i want to translate english language into the braille. First thing i need to do is to get the character one by one from a string,then convert them by mathing the char from value in database and display the braille code using the pic. As example when user enter "abc ef", this will create value separately between each other.
Array
(
[0] => a
[1] => b
[2] => c
[3] =>
[4] => e
[5] => f
)
i tried to do but not get the desired output. This code separated entire string.
$papar = preg_split('/[\s]+/', $data);
print_r($papar);
I'm sorry for simple question,and if you all have an idea how i should do to translate it, feel free to help. :)
If you're using PHP5, str_split will do precisely what you're seeking to accomplish. It splits each character in a string – including spaces – into an individual element, then returns an array of those elements:
$array = str_split("abc ef");
print_r($array);
Outputs the following:
Array
(
[0] => a
[1] => b
[2] => c
[3] =>
[4] => e
[5] => f
)
UPDATE:
The PHP4 solution is to use preg_split. Pass a double forward slash as the matching pattern to delimit the split character-by-character. Then, set the PREG_SPLIT_NO_EMPTY flag to ensure that no empty pieces will be returned at the start and end of the string:
$array = preg_split('//', "abc ef", -1, PREG_SPLIT_NO_EMPTY); // Returns same array as above
PHP has a very simple method of getting the character at a specific index.
To do this, utilize the substring method and pass in the index you are looking for.
How I would approach your problem is
Ensure the string you are converting has at least a size of one
Determine how long the string is
int strlen ( string $string )
Loop over each character and do some operation depending on that character
With a string "abcdef"
$rest = substr("abcdef", -1); // returns "f"
See the substr page for a full example and more information
http://us2.php.net/substr
You can iterate the string itself.
$data = 'something string';
for($ctr = 0; $ctr < strlen($data); $ctr++)
{
if($data{$ctr}):
$kk = mysql_query("select braille_teks from braille where id_huruf = '$data{$ctr}'");
$jj = mysql_fetch_array($kk);
$gambar = $jj['braille_teks'];
?>
<img src="images/<?php echo $gambar;?>">
<?php
else:
echo "&nbsp";
}

How to explode URL parameter list string into paired [key] => [value] Array?
Quick question
I have a URL sting that I wish to output the Key value as an array eg
$url ="www.domain.com?test=1&test2=2&test3=3";
and wish to have the output as an array
key => value so I can call any of the keys
eg
array (
test => 1,
test1 => 2,
test2 => 3,
)
cant use explode &
Just thinking do i have to do a loop and match between & and = for the key
I would use parse_url() with parse_str():
$url = parse_url('www.domain.com?test=1&test2=2&test3=3');
parse_str($url['query'], $keyvalue);
var_dump($keyvalue);
$keyvalue should contain your desired array.
