I am new to Php and can't seem to figure this out no matter how much I've googled.
So I've opened the txt file (which consists of multiple lines of this type of string unique Identifier IMEI in bold:
Rx:00:39:54 06/09/2015:+RESP:GTEPS,210101,863286020022449,,8296,01,1,3,0.0,0,1031.1,29.367950,-30.799161,20150906003710,,,,,,2857.9,20150906003710,8038$) There are different strings with different IMEIs but i only want to use a specific one.
My question is, how do I extract/only use the string with the same Unique identifier and then loop through those to use in another function?
My function has different cases and each case has different calculations, so I'll need to loop through the txt file (with e.g. 863286020022449 as Identifier, ignoring other identifiers/IMEIs) in order to use the string in my function as below:
This is my starter function:
function GetParam($unknownFunction, $numberCommas) {
$returnString = "";
$foundSting = 0;
$numberFound = 0;
$len = strlen($unknownFunction);
for ($i = 0; $i < $len; ++$i) {
if ($Rawline[$i] == ",") {
++$numberFound;
if ($numberFound > $numberCommas)
break;
if ($numberFound == $numberCommas)
$foundSting = 1;
}
else if ($foundSting == 1) {
$returnString .= $unknownFunction[$i];
}
}
return $returnString;
echo $returnString;
}
$i = strpos($unknownFunction, ":GT");
$p = substr($unknownFunction, $i+3,3);
$Protocol = GetParam($unknownFunction, 1);
//this switch reads the differences in the message types (e.g. HBD- in this case is a heartbeat message type and would thus have a different amount of commas in the string and has different definitions of the characters within the commas)
switch ($p) {
case 'HBD':
//+ACK:GTHBD,220100,135790246811220,,20100214093254,11F0$
//This is an example of an HBD message
$result2["Type"] = 'Heart beat';
$IMEI = GetParam($unknownFunction, 2);
$mDate = GetParam($unknownFunction, 4);
$mDate = substr($mDate,0,4).'-'.substr($mDate,4,2).'-
'.substr($mDate,6,2).'
'.substr($mDate,8,2).':'.substr($mDate,10,2).':'.substr($mDate,12,2);
break;
This is the biggest problem I am facing at the moment and when I print the different lines, it indicates the correct IMEI but it does not loop through the whole file to use each string that belongs to that IMEI.
Your assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you so much.

Each GT message means something which is why i need to extract only one specific IMEI and use the result in my function as a breakdown of what every set of numbers between the commas actually mean. The end result needs to be populated in an excel spreadsheet but that's a different issue.
Nested foreach, keeping tracking of the IMEIs you've already gone through. Or something like this.
<?php
$filename = 'info.txt';
$contents = file($filename);
foreach ($contents as $line) {
$doneAlreadyArray = array();
$IMEI = GetParam($line, 2);
foreach ($contents as $IMEIline){
$thisIMEI = GetParam($IMEIline,2);
//check if already done the IMEI previously
if (!in_array($thisIMEI, $doneAlreadyArray)){
//matching IMEIs?
if ($thisIMEI == $IMEI){
//run new function with entire $IMEIline
new_function($IMEIline);
}
}
}
//add IMEI to doneAlreadyArray
array_push($doneAlreadyArray,$IMEI);
}
?>
If I've understood your question right and you want to extract the string(line) with the same Unique identifier, this may be useful for your needs as a strating point.
The example is very basic, and use data from your question:
<?php
// Read the file.
$filename = 'input.txt';
$file = file($filename, FILE_IGNORE_NEW_LINES | FILE_SKIP_EMPTY_LINES);
// Each item of $output will contain an array of lines:
$output = array();
foreach ($file as $row) {
$a = explode(',', $row);
$imei = $a[2];
if (!array_key_exists($imei, $output)) {
$output[$imei] = array();
}
$output[$imei][] = $row;
}
// Then do what you want ...
foreach ($output as $key=>$value) {
echo 'IMEI: '.$key.'</br>';
foreach($value as $row) {
// Here you can call your functions. I just echo the row:
echo $row.'</br>';
}
}
?>
thank you for the feedback.
Ryan Dewberry ended up helping me.
The fix was simpler than I thought too :)
//Unknownfunction is now $line
function GetParam($line, $numberCommas) {
$returnString = "";
$foundSting = 0;
$numberFound = 0;
$len = strlen($line);
for ($i = 0; $i < $len; ++$i) {
if ($line[$i] == ",") {
++$numberFound;
if ($numberFound > $numberCommas)
break;
if ($numberFound == $numberCommas)
$foundSting = 1;
}
else if ($foundSting == 1) {
$returnString .= $line[$i];
}
}
return $returnString;
// print $returnString;
}
//this is new - makes sure I use the correct IMEI
$contents = file($fileName);
foreach ($contents as $line){
$haveData = 0;
$IMEI = GetParam($line, 2);
if ($IMEI == $gprsid){
$i = strpos($line, ":GT");
$p = substr($line, $i+3,3);
$Protocol = GetParam($line, 1);
//this is the part I struggled with as well - This is an array of all of my
//calculation
//results and in printing it out I can see that everything is working
$superResult = array();
array_push($superResult,$result2);
print_r($superResult);
}
}
Much appreciated. Thank you!
I want to record downloads in a text file
Someone comes to my site and downloads something, it will add a new row to the text file if it hasn't already or increment the current one.
I have tried
$filename = 'a.txt';
$lines = file($filename);
$linea = array();
foreach ($lines as $line)
{
$linea[] = explode("|",$line);
}
$linea[0][1] ++;
$a = $linea[0][0] . "|" . $linea[0][1];
file_put_contents($filename, $a);
but it always increments it by more than 1
The text file format is
name|download_count
You're doing your incrementing outside of the for loop, and only accessing the [0]th element so nothing is changing anywhere else.
This should probably look something like:
$filename = 'a.txt';
$lines = file($filename);
// $k = key, $v = value
foreach ($lines as $k=>$v) {
$exploded = explode("|", $v);
// Does this match the site name you're trying to increment?
if ($exploded[0] == "some_name_up_to_you") {
$exploded[1]++;
// To make changes to the source array,
// it must be referenced using the key.
// (If you just change $v, the source won't be updated.)
$lines[$k] = implode("|", $exploded);
}
}
// Write.
file_put_contents($filename, $lines);
You should probably be using a database for this, though. Check out PDO and MYSQL and you'll be on your way to awesomeness.
EDIT
To do what you mentioned in your comments, you can set a boolean flag, and trigger it as you walk through the array. This may warrant a break, too, if you're only looking for one thing:
...
$found = false;
foreach ($lines as $k=>$v) {
$exploded = explode("|", $v);
if ($exploded[0] == "some_name_up_to_you") {
$found = true;
$exploded[1]++;
$lines[$k] = implode("|", $exploded);
break; // ???
}
}
if (!$found) {
$lines[] = "THE_NEW_SITE|1";
}
...
one hand you are using a foreach loop, another hand you are write only the first line into your file after storing it in $a... it's making me confuse what do you have in your .txt file...
Try this below code... hope it will solve your problem...
$filename = 'a.txt';
// get file contents and split it...
$data = explode('|',file_get_contents($filename));
// increment the counting number...
$data[1]++;
// join the contents...
$data = implode('|',$data);
file_put_contents($filename, $data);
Instead of creating your own structure inside a text file, why not just use PHP arrays to keep track? You should also apply proper locking to prevent race conditions:
function recordDownload($download, $counter = 'default')
{
// open lock file and acquire exclusive lock
if (false === ($f = fopen("$counter.lock", "c"))) {
return;
}
flock($f, LOCK_EX);
// read counter data
if (file_exists("$counter.stats")) {
$stats = include "$counter.stats";
} else {
$stats = array();
}
if (isset($stats[$download])) {
$stats[$download]++;
} else {
$stats[$download] = 1;
}
// write back counter data
file_put_contents('counter.txt', '<?php return ' . var_export($stats, true) . '?>');
// release exclusive lock
fclose($f);
}
recordDownload('product1'); // will save in default.stats
recordDownload('product2', 'special'); // will save in special.stats
personally i suggest using a json blob as the content of the text file. then you can read the file into php, decode it (json_decode), manipulate the data, then resave it.
