Finding Local Disk Space
how to find the local disk space in php? I tried the command df -h, it gives me the details of the space for local drives as well as for all the mapped drives. All I want is to get the disk space of local drives. df -l, doesnot work. I can get the space details if I hardcode the drive letter. Need to find the local disk space without hardcoding the drive letters.
Checking String For Max Length Without Space
I have a form where people enter their username. I have a limit of 50 characters for their name (that's easy enough to police) but much trickier is this. They can't have more than 15 consecutive letters without a space. If they do, it throws out the formatting of my HTML tables. Is there a way in PHP to check that there is never a sequence of 15 or more letters without a space in a string?
Removing Space Characters From A String

Detect Upper Case Characters In A String And Separate Them With A Space
I want to detect uppercase characters in a string and separate the two words in it by a space. I know I can use preg_replace for it, but I am not very good at regular expressions. Can someone help? One example of such a string follows. Please note that there are a lot of strings like these and I want a generic method to do it, which is why I think preg_replace would be the perfect solution. Example: $string = "UserLocation"; I want the string to be $string = "User Location";

Finding And Extracting From A String
Heres the situation: I got a file with lines like: name:second_name:somenumber:otherinfo etc with different values between colons ( just like passwd file) What I want is to extract some part of it like all names or numbers from each line, simply text fom between e.g. second and third colon. And turn it into array so that I can later operate on these strings. And second, variation of it: To get whole lines that contain some characters like 3 digits from a number second b) :) to extract only nmbers with some digits not whole lines.
Finding Spaces In A String
I am now looking for a way to go through a string variable, find any space that is present and replace it with _. How would I go about?

Finding Number In A String Of Numbers
I have a string of numbers separated by comma ',', eg $str = "1, 3, 56, 8, 9, "; (there's a comma at the end, because it was easier for me to do so) I need to compare a number ($id) if it's in the string. At first I thought, that strpos() will do the trick, but then it struck me, that 6 will be found (because of 56, ).
Problem Finding Occurances Of One String Within Another
Can anybody see what is wrong with this code? apparently i have an 'empty delimiter' on the line that sets $pos - can anybody see what is wrong with it? $search_for = $_GET['for']; $the_items_description = $row ["description"]; $pos = stristr($the_items_description, $search_for); if ($search_for == "") { $does_contain_text = true; } elseif ($pos === false) { $does_contain_text = false; } else { $does_contain_text = true; } // end text search if ($does_contain_text == true) { // rest of page works fine
Finding The Longest Word In A String

StrPos - Finding Substring Within A String
I just wanted to know how to find every occurrence of a sub-string in a string? I would like to find the positions of every occurrence of a word within a sentence. CodingForums is a web code and development forum In the above sentence, I would like to have an array with the positions of all occurences of the letters "or" (2 occurrences in this case).

Form Validation - Finding Duplicates: Regular Expressions Or String Functions?
I'm trying to figure out the most efficient method for taking the first character in a string (which will be a number), and use it as a variable to check to see if the other numbers in the string match that first number. I'm using this code for form validation of a telephone number. Previous records from the past few months show that when someone is just messing around on one of our forms (to waste our time), they type in a phone number like "555-555-5555" or "111-222-3333". Our Web forms have three text boxes for each telephone number: homephone1 = area code (3 digits) homephone2 = prefix (3 digits) homephone3 = suffix (4 digits) businessphone1 = area code (3 digits) businessphone2 = prefix (3 digits) businessphone3 = suffix (4 digits) My plan is to check for this pattern, then if I find it, just redirect the user to the thank you page so they'll think the form was processed, when it actually wasn't. As we find additional patterns that people use for malicious data, I'll enter those as well (e.g., 123-123-1234) Also, if you see any tutorials, or articles that talk about "real world" form validation please point me to them. I've been looking for references for form-based validation logic that takes real world dummy data into account, but haven't found much.
Regular Expression Space And 2 Byte Space
When receiving a particular string and if the string has a space/ 2 byte space with some trailing string. I want to remove the trailing string. $somestring = "some string"; $match_pattern = "/(.*)s.*/iu"; preg_match_all($match_pattern, $somestring, $match ); echo $match[1][0] Looks like this only works for single byte space. How can I define the regular expressoin so that it finds the 2 bytes space.

Adding Space To URL
My script displays URLs of other sites, and I'm seeing that very long URLs don't wrap within the table, therefore pushing out the borders and spoiling the format. Can anybody give me a piece of code that will take an URL variable (e.g. $url) and parse it to place a space after the 1st forward slash (e.g. http://www.example.com/very/long/url/ would be replaced by http://www.example.com/ very/long/url/) Alternatively, the space could be placed after the second slash, so that not so many URLs are changed this way. (e.g. http://www.example.com/very/long/url/ would be replaced by http://www.example.com/very/ long/url/)

How Do You Get Php To Output More Than One Space?

Replacing A Space With %20
I have a script that shows a list of uploaded files, with a button saying Delete. <?PHP $folder = "../files/upload/"; $handle = opendir($folder); # Making an array containing the files in the current directory: while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle))) { if ($file != '.' && $file != '..') $files[] = $file; } closedir($handle); #echo the files foreach ($files as $file) { echo "-<a href=$folder$file><label title=file>$file</label></a>"; echo " [<a href=filedelete.php?file=$file>Delete</a>]<br />"; } ?> Now something is very weird, because if you attempt to delete a file that has a space in it, it appears as eg: filename: de_dust A.jpg file comes out as: de_dust I need some way to replace the space with that %20 thing that normally shows up in links if there is a space in it.

Fwrite When Out Of Storage Space
I have a problem that has long plagued me: What is the best way to check if I'm out of space? I have a file editor application (could apply to anything though). If the server (Apache on SunOS) is out of diskspace, $fp = fopen($file,'w'); fwrite($fp,$string,strlen($string)); fclose($fp); creates a nice 0-byte file.. no error or anything. Do I need to write to a test file and check it's filesize first?? There's gotta be a better way. This is a server where the log files get out of control and that's out of my jurisdiction.
Calculating Free Space Available
Is there a way to tell how much space is remaining available for files? I'm working on a script that takes uploaded images and adds them to a database, but I'd like to check and make sure there's room for it first. I think there's probably going to be some type of issue with quotas, because that's how I found the problem. A user had uploaded a test version and got an error that a folder could not be created because of insufficient space remaining. And I know I could probably exec() out to df or something similar, but I would like it to work on Windows servers as well, so I'd prefer to keep it all in PHP code if possible.

Passing DB Values With A Space In The URL
I have written a web app that takes results from an Informix DB. this DB is part of a legacy system and as such, I cant change the data in it. i am only writing something that outputs the data.

I pass the placename value to the next page in the URL but, and here's the problem: Normally, I pass the value like so: link.php?name=$placename If the placename is Dublin then the link would be PHP Code:
Seperating Vars From Db With Space.

Database Or PHP Adding A Space
I recently had to change all my embed code to get Quicktime Player to work in Windows. Unfortunately, now my php scripts are not working properly because a white space is getting added to the end of a field in the database (even though it doesn't appear to be this way in the database). So I am looking to use regex or something to take the database field and stop when the space begins; but I'm so far from understanding regex.. Code:
