i have got an URL:
http://website.example/script.php?timestamp=2014-10-31T16%3A12%3A57&sms=PM+000+name
and i want to catch values separated by '+'
if there is ability to add to array or what:
array sms[
array_value1 = PM
array_value2 = 000
array_value3 = name]
and then take value like
$name1 = $array_value3;
which will be "name"
Also if it would be done from this:
$timestamp = "2014-10-31T16%3A12%3A57";
this:
$timestamp = "2014-10-31-16:12:37";
Thanks for reply.
$foo = explode(' ', $_GET['sms']); // array('PM','000','name')
That what you're after? The + is just an encoding for a space (%20), so server-side you're looking at splitting it by spaces (though they would all fall under the same parameter).
Keep in mind if "name" turned into "name surname", you'll end up with a 4th array element containing "surname". (Array('PM','000','name','surname'))
$url=urldecode("http://website.example/script.php?timestamp=2014-10-31T16%3A12%3A57&sms=PM+0+name");
$url=parse_url($url, PHP_URL_QUERY);
$url_split = explode('&', $url);
$timestamp=$url_split[0];
$sms=explode(' ', $url_split[1]);
Close but i wanted right this:
$raw = $_GET["sms"];
list($type, $number, $user) = explode(" ", $raw, 3);
and echo $user would give result: name
Now need to do somethink with that time formatting.

I want to split a variable that I call for $ NowPlaying which contains the results of the current song. I would now like to share the following - so I get two new variables containing $ artist $ title. Having searched and tried to find a solution, but have stalled grateful for a little assistance, and help
<?php
// Assuming $NowPlaying is something like "J. Cole - Chaining Day"
// $array = explode("-", $NowPlaying); //enter a delimiter here, - is the example
$array = explode(" - ", $NowPlaying); //DJHell pointed out this is better
$artist = $array[0]; // J. Cole
$song = $array[1]; // Chaining Day
// Problems will arise if the delimiter is simply (-), if it is used in either
// the song or artist name.. ie ("Jay-Z - 99 Problems") so I advise against
// using - as the delimiter. You may be better off with :.: or some other string
?>
Sounds like you're wanting to use explode()
http://php.net/manual/en/function.explode.php
Use php explode() function
$str_array = explode(' - ', $you_song);
// then you can get the variables you want from the array
$artist = $str_array[index_of_artist_in_array];
$title = $str_array[index_of_title_in_array];
I would usually do some thing like this:
<?php
$input = 'Your - String';
$separator = ' - ';
$first_part = substr($input, 0, strpos($input, $separator));
$second_part = substr($input, (strpos($input, $separator) + strlen($separator)), strlen($input));
?>
I have looked at a couple split string questions and no one suggests using the php string functions. Is there a reason for this?
list() is made for exactly this purpose.
<?php
list($artist, $title) = explode(' - ', $NowPlaying);
?>
http://php.net/manual/en/function.list.php
I have a string stored in a variable, this string may appear in the next ways:
$sec_ugs_exp = ''; //Empty one
$sec_ugs_exp = '190'; //Containing the number I want to delete (190)
$sec_ugs_exp = '16'; //Containing only a number, not the one Im looking for
$sec_ugs_exp = '12,159,190'; // Containing my number at the end (or in beginning too)
$sec_ugs_exp = '15,190,145,86'; // Containing my number somewhere in the middle
I need to delete the 190 number if it exists and deleting also the comma attached after it unless my number is at the end or it is alone(there is no commas in that case)
So in the examples I wrote before, I need to get a return like this:
$sec_ugs_exp = '';
$sec_ugs_exp = '';
$sec_ugs_exp = '16';
$sec_ugs_exp = '12,159';
$sec_ugs_exp = '15,145,86';
Hope I explained myself, sorry about my English. I tried using preg_replace and some other ways, but I always failed in detecting the comma.
My final attempt not using regex:
$codes = array_flip(explode(",", $sec_ugs_exp));
unset($codes[190]);
$sec_ugs_exp = implode(',', array_keys($codes));
A simple regex should do the trick: /(190,?)/:
$newString = preg_replace('/(190,?)/', '', $string);
Demo: http://codepad.viper-7.com/TIW9D6
Or if you want to prevent matches like:
$sec_ugs_exp = '15,1901,86';
^^^
You could use:
(190(,|$))
Quick and dirty, but should work for you:
str_replace(array(",190","190,","190"), "", $sec_ugs_exp);
Note the order in the array is important.
$array = explode ( ',' , $sec_ugs_exp );
foreach ( $array AS $key => $number )
{
if ( $number == 190 )
{
unset($array[$key]);
}
}
$sec_ugs_exp = implode ( ',' , $array );
This will work if a number if 1903 or 9190
None of the answers here account for numbers beginning or ending with 190.
$newString = trim(str_replace(',,', ',', preg_replace('/\b190\b/', '', $string)), ',');
try
str_replace('190,', '', $sec_ugs_exp);
str_replace('190', '', $sec_ugs_exp);
or
str_replace('190', '', $sec_ugs_exp);
str_replace(',,' ',', $sec_ugs_exp);
if there are no extra spaces in your string
id:10 Ivysaur Level:5
stored in side $_POST[A]
I'm trying just to grab the id (so the 10) and the name (which in this case is Ivysaur) and I want to store them in a session variable. But before I store them I'm trying to explode it so can split it into parts
$phoneChunks = explode("-", $_POST[A]);
echo "Raw Phone Number = $rawPhoneNumber <br />";
echo "First chunk = $phoneChunks[0]<br />";
echo "Second chunk = $phoneChunks[1]<br />";
echo "Third Chunk chunk = $phoneChunks[2]";
I am getting
Raw Phone Number =
First chunk = Id:10 Ivysaur Level:5
Second chunk =
Third Chunk chunk =
What am i doing wrong ???
preg_match("/id:(\d+) (.+?) Level:(\d+)/",$_POST['A'],$match);
list(,$id,$name,$level) = $match; // don't forget extra , at beginning of list!
Now you have the variables $id, $name and $level to do whatever you want with. Good luck from there :)
You are trying to explode on a dash when there is no dash in your string. Try this:
$phoneChunks = explode(" ", $_POST[A]);
Try this:
$chunk = explode(" ", $_POST['A']);
it should produce something like this:
Array
(
[0] => id:10
[1] => Ivysaur
[2] => Level:5
)
What am i doing wrong ???
You are not escaping $_POST['A']
$phoneChunks = explode(' ',hmtlentities($_POST['A']));

I've gone through this address:
Passing an array to a query using a WHERE clause
and found that if I use a join clause to separate values , is also at the end of the array. How can I remove last?
I am using like this
$ttst=array();
$ttst=array();
$tt = "SELECT frd_id FROM network WHERE mem_id='$userId'";
$appLdone = execute_query($tt, true, "select");
foreach($appLdone as $kk=>$applist){
$ttst[] = $applist['frd_id'];
}
$result = implode(',', $ttst);
then also coming last ,
Thanks.
but it doesn't give single quote to each value .
join(',', array_filter($galleries))
array_filter gets rid of empty elements that you seem to have. Of course, you should take care not to have empty elements in there in the first place.
You could use trim() (or rtrim()):
$myStr = 'planes,trains,automobiles,';
$myStr = trim($myStr, ',');
$str = "orange,banana,apple,";
$str = rtrim($str,',');
This will result in
$str = "orange,banana,apple";
Update
Based on your situation:
$result = implode(',', $ttst);
$result = rtrim($result,',');
$arr = array(...);
$last = end($arr);
unset($last);
If the trailing "," is an array element of itself, use array_pop(), else, use rtrim()
$array = array('one','two',3,',');
array_pop($array);
print_r($array);
Gives:
Array ( [0] => one 1 => two 2 => 3
)
No need for length. Just take from beginning to the (last character - 1)
$finalResult = $str = substr($result, 0, -1);
Use implode() instead! See Example #1 here http://php.net/manual/en/function.implode.php
Edit:
I think a quick fix would be (broken down in steps):
$temp = rtrim(implode(',', $ttst), ','); //trim last comma caused by last empty value
$temp2 = "'"; //starting quote
$temp2 .= str_replace(",", "','", $temp); //quotes around commas
$temp2 .= "'"; //ending quote
$result = $temp2; // = 'apples','bananas','oranges'
This should give you single-quote around the strings, but note that if some more values in the array are sometimes empty you will probably have to write a foreach loop and build the string.
If i have a string like this:
$myString = "input/name/something";
How can i get the name to be echoed? Every string looks like that except that name and something could be different.
so the only thing you know is that :
it starts after input
it separated with forward slashes.
>
$strArray = explode('/',$myString);
$name = $strArray[1];
$something = $strArray[2];
Try this:
$parts = explode('/', $myString);
echo $parts[1];
This will split your string at the slashes and return an array of the parts.
Part 1 is the name.
If you only need "name"
list(, $name, ) = explode('/', $myString);
echo "name is '$name'";
If you want all, then
list($input, $name, $something) = explode('/', $myString);
use the function explode('/') to get an array of array('input', 'name', 'something'). I'm not sure if you mean you have to detect which element is the one you want, but if it's just the second of three, then use that.
