I am trying to grab only usernames in a list of sentences of about 30 lines long. I am able to get it to grab the usernames and everything afterwards but I dont want to get everything after the username.
test.txt
[India] Hagiwara has been inactive for 33 days (last seen: Sun Jan 25 23:35:35 2015).
[India] Psyborg has been inactive for 35 days (last seen: Fri Jan 23 18:43:58 2015).
[Echo] Pela has been inactive for 31 days (last seen: Tue Jan 27 20:00:30 2015).
PHP
$data = file('test.txt');
foreach ($data as $lines) {
if (($pos = strpos($lines, "]")) !== FALSE) {
$string = substr($lines, $pos+1);
}
echo $string . '<br />';
}
Output
Hagiwara has been inactive for 33 days (last seen: Sun Jan 25 23:35:35 2015).
This may be more than you expected, but here is a way to avoid regex.
$string = substr($lines, $pos+2);
$string = substr($string, 0, strpos($string, ' '));
$username = explode(' ',$lines)[1];
Given your example strings and based on the assumption that a username will never contain whitespace characters:
<?php
$input_line = "[India] Hagiwara has been inactive for 33 days (last seen: Sun Jan 25 23:35:35 2015).";
if (preg_match("/\[.+\]\s*(\S+)\s*.*/", $input_line, $output_array) == 1) {
echo $output_array[1];
}
?>
Will print out "Hagiwara".
The Regex to do this isn't so complicated. It's more bulletproof imho
$str1 = '[India] Hagiwara has been inactive for 33 days (last seen: Sun Jan 25 23:35:35 2015).';
$str2 = '[India] Psyborg has been inactive for 35 days (last seen: Fri Jan 23 18:43:58 2015).';
$str3 = '[Echo] Pela has been inactive for 31 days (last seen: Tue Jan 27 20:00:30 2015).';
$strs = array($str1,$str2,$str3);
foreach ($strs as $key => $val) {
//strips the initial bracketed string from the beginning of the line
$trimmed_val = preg_replace("/^\[\w+\]\s/",'',$val);
//grabs the first word from the trimmed string (user in this case)
preg_match("/^\w+\s/",$trimmed_val,$users);
//prints out a list of users for demonstration
echo $users[0] . '<br/>';
}
I am trying to get the events for my fullCalendar implementation with the "events (as a JSON feed)" built in feature.
...
event: 'calendarFill.php',
...
The php file returns the following JSON data:
[{"id":"40","title":"test four","services":"Reflexology (40), foot-soak","start":"Tue Mar 26 2013 13:00:00","end":"Tue Mar 26 2013 13:40:00","color":"#e56b15","customerId":"21","phone":"555-0404","email":"test4","notes":"test two of update. this sentence added at update.","seat":"Side Couch 9","vip":"yes","confirmed":"yes","knows_policies":"yes","customer_here":"0","allDay":"false"},{"id":"41","title":"test four","services":"Foot-Soak, ","start":"Wed Mar 27 2013 19:00:00","end":"Wed Mar 27 2013 19:15:00","color":"#e56b15","customerId":"21","phone":"555-0404","email":"test4","notes":"test of addslashes. what's going to happen?","seat":"Front Chair 2","vip":"yes","confirmed":"yes","knows_policies":"yes","customer_here":"0","allDay":"false"}]
The above does not work - the events are not displayed on the calendar. I've cut and pasted the code directory in my Javascript code:
events: {"id":"40","title":"test four","services":"Reflexology (40), foot-soak","start":"Tue Mar 26 2013 13:00:00","end":"Tue Mar 26 2013 13:40:00","color":"#e56b15","customerId":"21","phone":"555-0404","email":"test4","notes":"test two of update. this sentence added at update.","seat":"Side Couch 9","vip":"yes","confirmed":"yes","knows_policies":"yes","customer_here":"0","allDay":"false"},{"id":"41","title":"test four","services":"Foot-Soak, ","start":"Wed Mar 27 2013 19:00:00","end":"Wed Mar 27 2013 19:15:00","color":"#e56b15","customerId":"21","phone":"555-0404","email":"test4","notes":"test of addslashes. what's going to happen?","seat":"Front Chair 2","vip":"yes","confirmed":"yes","knows_policies":"yes","customer_here":"0","allDay":"false"}],
And, it does not display. But, if I edit the above to remove all the quotes that are not surrounding text values (as below), IT WORKS.
events: [{id:40,title:"test four",services:"Reflexology (40), foot-soak",start:"Tue Mar 26 2013 13:00:00",end:"Tue Mar 26 2013 13:40:00",color:"#e56b15",customerId:21,phone:"555-0404",email:"test4",notes:"test two of update. this sentence added at update.",seat:"Side Couch 9",vip:"yes",confirmed:"yes",knows_policies:"yes",customer_here:0,allDay:false},{id:41,title:"test four",services:"Foot-Soak, ",start:"Wed Mar 27 2013 19:00:00",end:"Wed Mar 27 2013 19:15:00",color:"#e56b15",customerId:21,phone:"555-0404",email:"test4",notes:"test of addslashes. what's going to happen?",seat:"Front Chair 2",vip:"yes",confirmed:"yes",knows_policies:"yes",customer_here:0,allDay:false}],
I am using the documentation at this link: http://arshaw.com/fullcalendar/docs/event_data/events_json_feed/
What am I doing wrong? Should I remove the 'json_encode' from my php and just return a string formatted like the above? I'd like to do it the 'right' way and not some work-around.
Added the php as requested:
// for connection to db
include("../includes/config.php");
include("../includes/mysql_functions.php");
// connection with db
$linkID = db_connect();
$returnValue = array();
$getEventData = mysql_query("SELECT apt_num, services, apt_date_start, apt_date_end, therapist, customer_num, notes, seat, confirmed, knows_policies, here FROM appointments", $linkID);
if ($getEventData != FALSE && mysql_num_rows($getEventData) > 0)
{
while ($theEventData = mysql_fetch_array($getEventData))
{
$getCustomerString = "SELECT first_name, middle_name, last_name, phone, email, vip FROM customer WHERE customer_num = ".$theEventData['customer_num'];
$getCustomerData = mysql_query($getCustomerString, $linkID);
if ($getCustomerData != FALSE && mysql_num_rows($getCustomerData) > 0)
{
while($theCustomerData = mysql_fetch_array($getCustomerData))
{
$customerName = $theCustomerData['first_name']." ".$theCustomerData['middle_name']." ".$theCustomerData['last_name'];
$customerPhone = $theCustomerData['phone'];
$customerEmail = $theCustomerData['email'];
$customerVip = $theCustomerData['vip'];
}
}
else

print json_encode($returnValue);
Markus Vetter (from Google+) found the problem. In the original code returned from my php file there is an "'" that causes an issue. I needed to 'addslashes' to my php before returning it to the jQuery/Javascript. Once that was done, the jQuery / fullCalendar code was able to render my events as expected.
A second pair of eyes does wonders! Thank you Markus Vetter!
The original code returned:
[{"id":"40","title":"test four","services":"Reflexology (40), foot-soak","start":"Tue Mar 26 2013 13:00:00","end":"Tue Mar 26 2013 13:40:00","color":"#e56b15","customerId":"21","phone":"555-0404","email":"test4","notes":"test two of update. this sentence added at update.","seat":"Side Couch 9","vip":"yes","confirmed":"yes","knows_policies":"yes","customer_here":"0","allDay":"false"},{"id":"41","title":"test four","services":"Foot-Soak, ","start":"Wed Mar 27 2013 19:00:00","end":"Wed Mar 27 2013 19:15:00","color":"#e56b15","customerId":"21","phone":"555-0404","email":"test4","notes":"test of addslashes. what's going to happen?","seat":"Front Chair 2","vip":"yes","confirmed":"yes","knows_policies":"yes","customer_here":"0","allDay":"false"}]
After using 'addslashes' in my php for all text fields:
[{"id":"40","title":"test four","services":"Reflexology (40), foot-soak","start":"Tue Mar 26 2013 13:00:00","end":"Tue Mar 26 2013 13:40:00","color":"#e56b15","customerId":"21","phone":"555-0404","email":"test4","notes":"test two of update. this sentence added at update.","seat":"Side Couch 9","vip":"yes","confirmed":"yes","knows_policies":"yes","customer_here":"0","allDay":"false"},{"id":"41","title":"test four","services":"Foot-Soak, ","start":"Wed Mar 27 2013 19:00:00","end":"Wed Mar 27 2013 19:15:00","color":"#e56b15","customerId":"21","phone":"555-0404","email":"test4","notes":"test of addslashes. what\'s going to happen?","seat":"Front Chair 2","vip":"yes","confirmed":"yes","knows_policies":"yes","customer_here":"0","allDay":"false"}]
Actually solved this time! In my php file, the last value added to the $rowArray is: $rowArray['allDay'] = "false". Instead of being a text value, it needs to be the actual boolean value. This "$rowArray['allDay'] = false" fixed the problem.
I had the same issue and it was a formatting thing for me as well.
This is how my json is returning now and it is finally working.
[{"title":"Coke Trade Show","start":"2014-12-03"},{"title":"Michigan Show","start":"2014-12-04"}]
Definitely a good idea to paste your json return straight into the JS to make sure it is working.
Im having problems with the dropbox API.
When i try to get the metadata for my folder, i get the data output like this:
{"hash":"10f86b5b7c9c9276501f67a71ecd41c9","thumb_exists":false,"bytes":0,"path":"\/","is_dir":true,"size":"0 bytes","root":"app_folder","contents":[{"revision":7,"rev":"7069e0896","thumb_exists":true,"bytes":19749,"modified":"Tue, 20 Mar 2012 05:06:43 +0000","client_mtime":"Mon, 26 Sep 2011 11:50:43 +0000","path":"\/1_sml.jpg","is_dir":false,"icon":"page_white_picture","root":"dropbox","mime_type":"image\/jpeg","size":"19.3 KB"},{"revision":6,"rev":"6069e0896","thumb_exists":true,"bytes":15797,"modified":"Tue, 20 Mar 2012 05:06:43 +0000","client_mtime":"Mon, 26 Sep 2011 11:51:09 +0000","path":"\/2_sml.jpg","is_dir":false,"icon":"page_white_picture","root":"dropbox","mime_type":"image\/jpeg","size":"15.4 KB"},{"revision":5,"rev":"5069e0896","thumb_exists":true,"bytes":13349,"modified":"Tue, 20 Mar 2012 05:06:43 +0000","client_mtime":"Mon, 26 Sep 2011 11:51:26 +0000","path":"\/3_sml.jpg","is_dir":false,"icon":"page_white_picture","root":"dropbox","mime_type":"image\/jpeg","size":"13 KB"},{"revision":4,"rev":"4069e0896","thumb_exists":true,"bytes":8838,"modified":"Tue, 20 Mar 2012 05:06:43 +0000","client_mtime":"Mon, 26 Sep 2011 11:51:46 +0000","path":"\/4_sml.jpg","is_dir":false,"icon":"page_white_picture","root":"dropbox","mime_type":"image\/jpeg","size":"8.6 KB"},{"revision":3,"rev":"3069e0896","thumb_exists":true,"bytes":99646,"modified":"Tue, 20 Mar 2012 04:57:58 +0000","client_mtime":"Tue, 20 Sep 2011 14:14:26 +0000","path":"\/bg.jpg","is_dir":false,"icon":"page_white_picture","root":"dropbox","mime_type":"image\/jpeg","size":"97.3 KB"}],"icon":"folder"}
My problem is that i would like get the output for each the image/file name only.. But i can find the right way to do it.. i through i could do it this way:
$info = json_encode($dropbox->getMetaData(''));
foreach($info->contents->path as $file){
echo $file;
}
But i get this error:
Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/djrasmusp/rasmusp.com/db/index.php on line 16
But is there anyone that can give me a helping hand with my problem?
Try json_decode instead of json_encode (and maybe use second parameter to produce associated array instead of stdClass).
I had the same problem, here is my solution:
$metaData = $dropbox->metaData($path);
foreach($metaData['body']->contents as $file){
$f = str_replace("/", "", $file->path);
echo "<li>$f</li>";
}
tested by me :)
require_once('bootstrap.php');
$metaData = $dropbox->metaData();
foreach($metaData['body']->contents as $file)
{
echo "<pre>";
echo $file->path;
}
I have a text file that I am displaying in a table. I am using preg_match_all to find a specific Title with a specific Chapter and I am replacing the Title and Chapter with preg_replace to make it a link..
For example the contents within the text file are as follows:
Dec 04 20:15 Naruto 123
Dec 04 17:42 Naruto 98
Dec 04 16:19 D Gray Man 001
Dec 04 16:05 Bleach 128
Dec 04 12:13 50 x 50 44
And I am replacing the Title's and Chapters... (i.e. Naruto 123) with a link to the webpage where that is located.
I also need to take into effect the folderpath that the webpage is located in.
The folderpath is the title of the anime. So if we were doing it for Naruto 123 the folder path is Naruto/.
So in the end the link will look like this:
http://website/folderpath/animetitle animechapter
The problem that I have is that I can get the folderpath's correct but I cannot create 2 or more distinct links. My code replaces Naruto 123 and Naruto 98 with the same link.
Here is what my code:
<?
$data=file_get_contents('series-updates.txt'); //get data from file
$regexp[0]="/(Naruto)[[:space:]](\w+)/";
$regexp[1]="/Naruto/";
preg_match($regexp[0], $data, $matches); //match Manga Title with Chapter for URL
$url= $matches[0];
preg_match($regexp[1], $data, $matches2); //match Manga Title for folderpath
$folderpath= $matches2[0];
$patterns= '/(Naruto)[[:space:]](\w+)/';
$replacements= ''.$url.'';
$data=preg_replace($patterns,$replacements, $data);
$dat=explode("\n",$data); //split data at new lines
echo '<table cellspacing=0>';
foreach ($dat AS $value) { //loop
echo '<tr><td>'.$value.'</td></tr>';
}
echo '</table>';
?>
here is an the output of the code:
http://xennetworks.com/output3.php
** ALSO, the reason why in the php code I am using preg_match instead of preg_match_all is because if I use preg_match_all for the links I get the output of ARRAY and I wanted you to see the outcome that I would like.
Try this on for size though I'm not sure what you're looking for the link URL:
$s= <<<STR
Dec 04 20:15 Naruto 123
Dec 04 17:42 Naruto 98
Dec 04 16:19 D Gray Man 001
Dec 04 16:05 Bleach 128
Dec 04 12:13 50 x 50 44
STR;
preg_match_all('/\w{3}\s\d{2}\s\d{2}:\d{2}\s(.+)?\s(\d{2,})/', $s, $m);
for ($i=0; $i<count($m[1]); $i++) {
$url= sprintf('http://xennetworks.com/%s %s', $m[1][$i], $m[2][$i]);
echo("$url\n");
}
<?php
$filedata = "Dec 04 20:15 Naruto 123
Dec 04 17:42 Naruto 98
Dec 04 16:19 D Gray Man 001
Dec 04 16:05 Bleach 128
Dec 04 12:13 50 x 50 44";
$lines = explode("\n", $filedata);
echo "<table border=\"1\">";
foreach($lines as $line)
{
echo "<tr>";
preg_match("/^([a-zA-Z]{3}\s\d{2}\s\d{2}:\d{2})\s(.+?)\s(\d+)\s*?$/", $line, $matches);
echo "<td>$matches[1]</td>";
echo "<td>$matches[2] $matches[3]</td>";
echo "</tr>";
}
echo "</table>"
?>
