Hi I have a string replace:
$sHTML = str_replace( "[+fs.area.'{$member[ "town" ]}'+]", hello", $sHTML );
I have multiple towns in the database and i cannot go adding static short codes for each town as the user maybe adding towns later, i basically want to put into the html:
[+fs.area.townname+] which in this case will show hello am i doing something wrong or is there another way i can go about it?
This is not wordpress, i did some searching and found there was a way to do it in wordpress but thats not what i want.
You can populate $member array from db
You can use +fs.area.*+ regular expressions
But I think you want to create key/value table
key: +fs.area.glasgow+
value: Glasgow
key: +fs.area.Glasgowe+
value: Glasgow
and you want to select record from table for key and replace occurence with value in string.

I am working on a WordPress Website/Blog with two main functions.
Create reports.
Compile final report.
People can write reports, selecting the fields they need and publish it. Then at the end of the day, they can "compile" a final report from all of the reports (it concatenate the fields of all reports).
The theme is twentyten (in case it might be useful).
In my function.php file, I concatenate everthing for the final report using a foreach and lines like that:
$Urgences_Environnementales .= htmlspecialchars("<br/>".get_field('Urgences_Environnementales', $idnumber->ID));
$avezvous_regardé_des_indices_de_temps_violent_aujourdhui .= htmlspecialchars(get_field('avezvous_regardé_des_indices_de_temps_violent_aujourdhui', $idnumber->ID));
$quelle_est_cette_raison .= htmlspecialchars(get_field('quelle_est_cette_raison', $idnumber->ID));
One line per field, all the same way. After the loop is done, I update the fields:
update_field('Urgences_Environnementales',preg_replace('/(<br[\s]?[\/]?>[\s]*){2,}/', '<br/><br/>', htmlspecialchars_decode($Urgences_Environnementales)), $identificationRapport);
update_field('avezvous_regardé_des_indices_de_temps_violent_aujourdhui',preg_replace('/(<br[\s]?[\/]?>[\s]*){2,}/', '<br/><br/>', htmlspecialchars_decode($avezvous_regardé_des_indices_de_temps_violent_aujourdhui)), $identificationRapport);
update_field('quelle_est_cette_raison',preg_replace('/(<br[\s]?[\/]?>[\s]*){2,}/', '<br/><br/>', htmlspecialchars_decode($quelle_est_cette_raison)), $identificationRapport);
Then it's printed for the final report like this (this is a single field):
if(strip_tags(html_entity_decode(get_field('Urgences_Environnementales')))!=''){
simplebox(strip_tags(html_entity_decode(get_field('Urgences_Environnementales')))!='', get_field('Urgences_Environnementales'));
}
And for those fields it works perfectly.
My problem is that all my fields composed of arrays (checkboxes that people can select multiple choices using the ACF plugin) are empty in my databse... They appear perfectly in the single reports, but they appear blank in the final report.
As an exemple, this is what I see in my database for a single report for one of my arrays:
a:4:{i:0;s:49:"L’indice d’intensité d’orage violent (STI)";i:1;s:35:"L’indice d’orage violent (TMPV)";i:2;s:34:"Potential Severe Storm Environment";i:3;s:6:"Autres";}
The corresponding field in my final report is empty.
Would someone have an idea on how to read those arrays and record them correctly in my databse? Could I transform them in strings in my foreach loop? Should I do something differently?
If you need more code don't hesitate to ask. I didn't put all my 3 functions (functions.php, report.php, finalreport.php) that I have in my WordPress theme as it would take tons of lines and I'm pretty sure the most important ones are right here. If I'm wrong, I could post the functions.
I searched and searched, but I can't seem to find the answer by myself, so I'm searching for help here.
PS: This is my 1st post, if you have any reccomandations, you can send them to me and I will change my post.
Thank you very much for your help!

Advanced Custom Fields stores some values as serialized arrays (checkboxes, repeaters, etc). Your code is assuming that you will be getting a string back. As you suggested in your answer, the easiest way to account for this in your current code would be to use the is_array() method to check the type of the returned value, and then another inner loop to handle the summary. This code assumes you just want to concatenate all the values, you could just as easily use another array to make sure they are unique, etc.
// get the value from acf
$value = get_field( 'Urgences_Environnementales', $idnumber->ID );
// if it's already an array, use that, if not make it into an array with a single element
$value_arr = ( is_array( $value ) )? $value : array( $value );
$text = ""; // reset since this is in a loop
// concatenate each checkbox value
foreach ( $value_arr as $val ){
$text .= $val . ', ';
}
// append it to the main summary
$Urgences_Environnementales .= htmlspecialchars( "<br/>". $text );
I have a need in Magento to provide an array custom product attribute that outputs all of its values as list items. The basic premise is a list of product ingredients... on a per product basis we need to enter (for example) water, salt, colourings - and for those to be rendered as a list on the front end.
My logic so far has been to use the standard text field attribute, entering comma separated values in the back-end and then to try and use that string as an array from which I can use foreach to create the unordered list.
So far I can echo the entire string as just one list item, but rendering the string as an array of its individual values has so far stumped me! See below...
The Ingredients text field attribute has a value of "water", "salt", "colourings". - the addition of quote marks and commas is only the assumption that this would pre-format the list ready to be an array.
<?php
$ingredientsArrayContent = $this->getProduct()->getSpa_productingredients();
$ingredientsArray = array($ingredientsArrayContent);
?>
<ul>
<?php
reset($ingredientsArray);
foreach ($ingredientsArray as $ingredientsValue) {
echo "<li>$ingredientsValue</li>\n";
}
?>
</ul>
So on the front end this is outputting:
<ul>
<li>"water", "salt", "colourings"</li>
</ul>
What of course I am looking to achieve is:
<ul>
<li>water</li>
<li>salt</li>
<li>colourings</li>
</ul>
Am I over complicating this and missing something really obvious even in Magento? Any pointers greatly appreciated!!
Perhaps instead of:
$ingredientsArray = array($ingredientsArrayContent);
try using:
$ingredientsArray = array(explode(",",$ingredientsArrayContent));
Depending on whether your attribute is set as: "water,salt,colourings" or "water, salt, colourings" your delimiter might need to change or how you set your attribute values might need to change.
I'm trying to customize an existing opensource script and ran into a snag. In the processing file, I'm using the following line to retrieve the user's input from a form they submit.
$listingKeywords = $_POST["listingKeywords"];
The user is asked in the form to enter the keywords with a comma in between each one (example: Keyword One, Keyword Two). Within the processing file, I have the following...
$keyword_list = array(
'1'=>"HTML5",
'2'=>"CSS3",
'3'=>"PHP",
);
This is being used later on like so:
foreach ($keyword_list as $key=>$value)
Basically I'm looking for a way to split $listingKeywords by comma and then set the $key via $i++. I know it's simple and I'm just asking for someone to point me in the right direction.
Thanks!
$arr = explode("," $content);
is this what you want?
Just remember to use trim before putting them into a database, people well tend to do use value1, value2, value3
I have strings of data in a field named content, one record may look something like:
loads of text ... [attr1] some text [attr2] more text [attr3] more text etc...
What I'm looking to do is get all the text within the square brackets; so that I can put it into a PHP array. Is this even possible with mySql?
I've seen the following post: Looking to extract data between parentheses in a string via MYSQL, but they are looking to only extract one value from between their parentheses, I have an unknown number of them. After reading that post I've though of doing something like the following;
SELECT substr(content,instr(content,"["), instr(content,"]")) as attrList from myTable
Which would grab me the following:
[attr1] some text [attr2] some more text [attr3]
and I can use PHP to strip the rest of the text out and then explode the string into an array, but is there a better way to do this just using mySql where I can retrieve something like:
[attr1][attr2][attr3]
I was thinking perhaps regex, but I see that just returns a true of false which doesn't help me a lot.
After even more research, I'm not sure it's possible in mySql, and I might need the results in string or array form depending on where I'm using them in my app.
So I've created a new method to return the list after I've got the data from the database (with a little help from this post: PHP: Capturing text between square brackets):
public function attrList($array=false)
{
preg_match_all("/\[.*?\]/",$this->content,$matches);
$params = str_replace(array('[',']'),'',$matches[0]);
return ($array===false) ? implode(', ',$params) : $params;
}
I am trying to create a database field merge into a document (rtf) using php
i.e if I have a document that starts
Dear Sir,
Customer Name: [customer_name], Date of order: [order_date]
After retrieving the appropriate database record I can use a simple search and replace to insert the database field into the right place.
So far so good.
I would however like to have a little more control over the data before it is replaced. For example I may wish to Title Case it, or convert a delimited string into a list with carriage returns.
I would therefore like to be able to add extra formatting commands to the field to be replaced. e.g.
Dear Sir,
Customer Name: [customer_name, TC], Date of order: [order_date, Y/M/D]
There may be more than one formatting command per field.
Is there a way that I can now search for these strings? The format of the strings is not set in stone, so if I have to change the format then I can.
Any suggestions appreciated.
You could use a templating system like Smarty, that might make your life easier, as you can do {$customer_name|ucwords} or actually put PHP code in your email template.
Try a RegEx and preg_replace_callback:
function replace_param($matches)
{
$parts = explode(',',$matches[0]);
//$parts now contains an array like: customer_name,TC,SE,YMD
// do some substitutions and:
return $text;
}
preg_replace_callback('/\[([^\]]+)\]/','replace_param',$rtf);
You can use explode on it to separate them into array values.
For Example:
$customer_name = 'customer_name, TC';
$get_fields = explode(',', $customer_name);
foreach($get_fields as $value)
{
$new_val = trim($value);
// Now do whatever you want to these in here.
}
Sorry if I'm not understanding you.
