How to extract a substring from a string in PHP until it reaches a certain character?
(5 answers)
Closed 8 years ago.
I have a long string that will have 8 characters that I need to get out of it. The 8 characters always happen after a specific number.
example:
blahblah1234WMCRCA01therestofthisisntimportant
Out of that I need to set a variable to the 8 characters after 1234 which would be WMCRCA01
This should help:
$string = "blahblah1234WMCRCA01therestofthisisntimportant";
$startingString = "1234";
$startingStringAt = strpos($string, $startingString);
if (false === $startingStringAt) {
echo "Could not find the \"$startingString\"";
} else {
$eightCharacters = substr($string, $startingStringAt + 4, 8);
echo "Eight characters found: " . $eightCharacters;
}
It is a complex solution including the case where no preceding "1234" string occurs in the base string.

Thank you
You can use the substr() function!
If u want to insert 25 inside $str="Hello From Other Side "; at the position 2!
U can do
$pos=2;
$new_string= substr($str, 0, $pos). "25" . substr($str, $pos);
and the results would be:
"He25llo From Other Side "

Detect HTML tags in a string
(8 answers)
Closed 4 years ago.
I want to do a simple kind of test to see if a string contains any HTML.
In this case if the $string variable is test or <test> it returns no for me:
$string = 'test';
if(strpos($string,'<') !== 'false'){
echo 'no';
}else{
echo 'yes';
}
Is there a better way to check if a string contains HTML? I don't want to do anything to the string just check if it has HTML tags?
if($string != strip_tags($string)) {
// contains HTML
}

Extract floating point numbers from a delimited string in PHP
(6 answers)
Closed 6 years ago.
I am trying to extract any number out from a string (with or without decimal) and dump that into an array. Below is my code
$matches = array();
$str = "I have string of 21.11 out of 30";
preg_match_all("/\d+/",$str,$matches);
echo var_dump($matches);
The current output has 3 elements below:
21
11
30
But I expect to output only 2 elements below:
21.11
30
How do I change my regex?
You should use this regex (add dot in character class) :
$matches = array();
$str = "I have string of 21.11 out of 30";
preg_match_all("/[\d\.]+/",$str,$matches);
var_dump($matches);
Test it (Ctrl + Enter)

try this:
$string = "Your Entire String";
$explodedString = explode('$#', $string);
if(count($explodedString) > 1) {
unset($explodedString[0]);
$returnString = count($explodedString) > 1 ? $explodedString : $explodedString[0];
} else {
$returnString = null;
}
if(is_array($returnString)) {
//if you want to divide the string only to the first occurrence of $# leave the below line as is else comment it out
$returnString = implode('', $returnString);
}
echo $returnString;
