OK there is an input field for visitor to enter something in it (like nickname lets say). I wish for (upcoming $_POST) variable to have at least (at least) 4 characters before starts to trigger function.
Here is some cosmetic example..
$inputdata = escapeHTML($_REQUEST['data']);
if($inputdata...)
{
//execute $inputdata
}
Any cool trick? Thx!

if (strlen($inputdata) >= 4)
This should work then
Or
if (mb_strlen($inputdata) >= 4) for non-latin text

How do I remove characters till there comes another character in a string?
For example:
String is this: 0030051
Now I want to remove ALL 0's before another character (like: 1) comes.
So the string will become this: 30051.
Is there a PHP function for this or is this easier with Javascript/jQuery ? (I'd prefer PHP)
cast it to integer
$var = (int)$var;

I suck at regexp but i'd like to just do a simple filter where / is replaced with 1, " is replaced with 2 and < is replaced with 3.
I'd appreciate an example where the syntax would be straight forward, i'd like to run this filter through the input of a get variable provided by the user. A syntax like:
replace(/,1)
replace(",2)
replace(<,3)
.
Thanks.
I really don't see the need for regex here.. You can just use str_replace
E.g.
str_replace('/', '1', $_GET['var']);

Im trying to code a php script that will loop a process for each line in a Textarea post. I was wondering if someone can post an example.
foreach(explode("\n", $text) as $line) {
// do something
}
See the manual page on explode()
You might have to use \r\n instead of just \n for textarea (I remember figuring it out for quite a while)
