Get Last Item In URL String
I realize how elementary this is, I apologize. Maybe that's why I can't find the right answer. I've tried everything from EXPLODEing the string to SUBSTR_REPLACE.
Can anyone tell me how to just get the last item in a URL string? Like turn this:
/mydirectory/myimg.jpg
into this:
myimg.jpg

How To Replace An Item In The Url Search String
Using PHP 4, what is the most elegant way to replace a parameter value in a url query string? I want to replace the "Order" parameter, but it could occur anywhere in the query string. myfile.php?Param1=Hi+there&Order=ColumnA&Param3=Bye+Bye myfile.php?Order=ColumnA myfile.php?Param1=Anotehr+example&Order=ColumnA after applying this function, I'd like the result of the above examples to be myfile.php?Param1=Hi+there&Order=ColumnB&Param3=Bye+Bye myfile.php?Order=ColumnB myfile.php?Param1=Anotehr+example&Order=ColumnB
Iterator First Item?
Let's say I have the code: foreach($data as $row) { do something with each $row } Is there a way to do something specific to the first item iterated? Pseudocode: foreach($data as $row) { if first time through iteration do something with $row else do something which each remaining $row } Is this possible? I think I could use a regular 'for' loop, using the length of the $data array as a guide, and then an 'if..else' structure to see if it is the first time through the 'for' loop, but I was looking for a more elegant solution.
Trying To Split The Item...
I'm trying to make a search thru my mySQL database, so it any keywords are found then I'm adding the details to the next item in an array that I create. I've tested the array and it is storing the information into the array properly because it echoes out all of the information correctly. My problem is that, at the beginning of each item in the array I have information that tells me what part of the database it was pulled from and the id number and also how many times the a keyword was found in that specific database entry. So you have something like this.. Code:
Deleting An Array Item
I have a standard array: $foo = array( 0 => 'abc' 1 => 'def' 2 => 'ghi'); and I have a variable, $bar, which equals 'def' ... and I want to check my array to see if the value of $bar exists in the array, and if it does, delete it from the array. if (in_array($bar, $foo)) { // what goes here??? } I've done this before, but for the life of me, I'm drawing a blank now. Help a bruthah out?
Random Item Of An Array

Search Item In Database
I made a function that does a case insensitive search. This works fine. But i'd like to improve that script so that it also returns items from the database that are partly similar to the search string. this is the script atm:
Delete Item From Database
I still can't figure out how to delete an item from my shoppingcart. I have tried different ways to do this, but its impossible. -a button or link that deletes a item from my database -the php script that deletes it here is a suggestion: $slett = "DELETE ID, VARE, MODELL, STR, ANTALL, PRIS, TOTALPRIS FROM USER_TRACK WHERE USER_ID = "$user_id""; But how can i assign this to a button?
Updating Item Numbers (or IDs)
After a while of deleting records in a MySQL db, there gets to be the gaps in the id numbering system. i.e. 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 12, and so on. Is there a way to renumber the id system in a table for 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, etc without manually going in and changing those numbers?
Returning Autogenerated ID On New Item
Lets say you have a form that when saved to the mysql database creates a unique incremental id. The form is just the first part of a series of things the user can do, so once the ID is created, the page would need to know immediately what this ID is. Is there a way to grab this ID instantly once it is created? Obviously if this were a sign-up for and a new user name and password are involved, you can have the user login after the initial set up and this select statement would bring back the ID. But the situation I have doesn't work like that. The way I have been dealing with this is simply to have a select statement after the initial insert that requests the record based on a couple of other fields that are likely unique. But this seems like a rather kludgy way of doing it. Is there some other solution.
What Does `Catalog`.item Like '%A-%' Mean? -MySQL?
I am looking at an old query and I cannot remember or figure out what this part of the query means: `Catalog`.item like '%A-%' It is the like '%A-%' I cannot figure out. Then entire query is:[color=blue] > SELECT * > FROM `Catalog` > WHERE `Catalog`.img_status = Ƈ' AND `Catalog`.item_type ='R' AND > `Catalog`.item like '%A-%' > ORDER BY `Catalog`.item_type[/color] And will not work without the Like part

Finding # Of Item From Query
I have a query that goes "SELECT item_name FROM products WHERE products.drink = 'juice'" . If I get back 12 results from this query I can make a list using a simple loop, that is fine . If I click on one of these list items I want to go to a detail page, again I can do this no probs. How do I carry over to the detail page the number that the item appeared in the original list, for example if a result was "orange" and it was the 5th one in the list, how do I carry over the number 5 to the detail page?
Populating Form Item From SQL Enum Set Rev#2
$sql = "SHOW COLUMNS FROM table LIKE 'subject' "; $qry = mysql_query($sql) or die("Query not valid: " . mysql_error()); $res = mysql_fetch_object($qry); // This returns a row with a field 'Type' containing 'enum(...)' $res->Type = str_replace('enum('', '', $res->Type); $res->Type = str_replace('')', '', $res->Type); //now the string is something like this: one','two','three $temp = explode('','',$res->Type); //temp is an array with as much elements as the enum while ($temp) print array_pop($temp); This way is much more easier using the elements since they are elements of an array. Cleaver isn't it?
Shopping Cart Item Array
Trying to build a small simple shopping cart and I am having difficulty getting the solution. The cart is displaying each product, but it is overwriting the values. So if I have added 10 products, it shows ten items, but each item has the values of the last product I added. I think that this may be due to me trying to use a key to store both an array and string at once, but Iam not sure. I have looked at other examples but due to different methods, syntax is throwing me off. Code:

Selected Item To Use For Multiple Variables
I've got a list of 'items' and those 'items' have unique 'categories'. I have 1 table for 'categories' that contains a list of category_ids and their 'category_names'. The other table is the 'item' list. And here's where I'm running into difficulty, I'd like to have the 'item' table contain the category_id from my 'categories' table as a Foreign Key and that category_id's 'category_name' in a 'category' field. I'm getting the Foreign Key, but I can't seem to grab the 'category_name' and assign it to my $category variable in the 'item' table. I've got a page to insert items and a page to update these items. I was working with the update first. And I'm able to grab the list of categories and select the correct one, but I'm not seeing where to assign the category_name to the $category variable. Here's dropdown list: Code:
Explicit Numeric Keys Vs Item Position
Say if I have a mixed array: $array = array("item1", "2"=>"item2", "5", "item4key"=>"item4") Is it possible while looping through the array (foreach ($array as $key=>$val)) to check if an item has an explicit key specified instead of its automatically assigned position key?
Choose Random Item From List But With Different Weighting
I want to choose an item at random, but have different probabilities for each item. One easy way is just to create an array like $a[]=1 $a[]=2 $a[]=3 $a[]=3 That way a random number between 1 and 4 would give the weighting I want, but it seems like there has to be a much smarter way to do this. I've seen some algorithms for random distributions, but they don't quite do what I want. Oh yeah - must not require a DB; this should work with values from a CSV or similar ...
Arrays : Returning A Reference To An Array Item ??
I am currently storing a set of objects inside an array, $itemlist = array(); $itemlist[] = new item("myitem"); //... and I am looking to develop a search function, which returns a reference to the found item. function &search_item($itemlist,"myitem") { //... } I am trying to figure out how to obtain a reference to a given item in an array. Indeed, foreach() and each() seem to work on copies of the data in the array. For example: $array = array("a","b","c","d"); print_r($array); foreach($array as $v) $v="xxx"; print_r($array); // $array is unchanged reset($array) ; while(list(,$v)=each($array)) $v="xxx"; print_r($array); // $array is unchanged, again
Creating A Form For An Item Tracking Website
I'm having trouble processing the html form, especially the "date found" portion. I also don't really know how to set up my tables in my database so that they work efficiently. The information I an requesting with the form is: item_number, found_by, date_found, city, state, country. I'm assuming that I will have to have more than one table in order for people to search by item_number or found_by etc. I know these are kind of broad questions, but let me know if you'd like me to post what code I have, or stick the files on my FTP for download. I am using SQL Manager for a mysql client and Dreamweaver CS3 for design.
Deleting A Single Item From The Middle Of An Array?
I have an array that contain objects, I want to be able to test against the id of that object and remove it from the array. In it's simplest for I want to go from this: $people = array('Tom', 'Dick', 'Harriet', 'Brenda', 'Jo'); ...to this... $people = array('Tom', 'Dick', 'Brenda', 'Jo'); The fact that the items in the array are objects should not matter right? Plus I've already written my loops and conditionals to check which item i need to remove. function removeItem ( $item ) { $len = count ( $_SESSION['basket_arr'] ) ; if ( $len == 1 ) { emptyBasket ( ) ; } else { for ( $i = 0 ; $i < $len ; $i++ ) { if ( $item->id == $_SESSION['basket_arr'][$i]->id ) { //$_SESSION['basket_arr'][$i] must go } } }}

Listing Table Data With An Option To Delete Each Individual Item.
Was wondering if anyone could help me with a PHP, MySQL problem. I am completely new to PHP and MySQL. I have been trying to find a way to list data from a table on a web page and after each individual item have a hyperlink to allow users to delete the information listed. Can anyone help? i.e. Name Age Sex ------------------------------------------ Adam 21 M delete Betty 22 F delete Chris 23 M delete Daisy 24 F delete ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ (delete after 'Sex' would be the hyperlink to delete that entire line (row) from the table).
Attaching A String To A Normal Word Without Loosing The String
In my database I have content rows that are either called <contentname>_title or <contentname>_fulltext. now when someone clicks a link on the site it goes to index.php?action=<contentname> so I guess you see where im going.. when someone goes to such a section index.php sees $action is used and attaches it to _title and _fulltext, so u get: $action_fulltext.. basicly of cuz php now sees it as one string '$action_fulltext' and not '$action'_fulltext.
Help - Regexp For Extracting A String From A Larger String
I am developing a very basic CMS for a website I'm working on. One of the requirements is for the client to be able to post an image in their news posts, as well as links. I've got the links working (sort of, because I fear the way I have set it up may break images). Ideally I would like something like BBcode but can't wrap my head around regular expressions.
Parse Part Of String (mid String Function ?)

Converting A Hex String To A Binary String?
I have a situation where I have an 8-byte string which is represented as 16 hex digits. How do I convert a 16 hex digit string to an 8-byte binary string? I know I can use bin2hex to go from a binary string to a hex string (very useful)but is there a way to go the other direction? Right now I have a solution, which is to use a loop to go through the hex string one byte at a time, but that doesn't seem like a good way to do it. It seems like I should be able to use the pack() command, but I can't get it to work.
Replacing A String In A Larger String
i want to remove an email from a list of emails stored in a text file. using str_replace i can replace an email with nothing, but if the list is serated by commans, that would result in this: email@...,,email@...,email@... with no email between 2 commas. if i replace the email address with a comma on the end with nothing, it wouldn't work for the last one. if i replace the email address with a comma at the beginning, it wouldn't work for the first one. how can i avoid this or work around it?
