PHP :: How Do You Split A String Using Split()?

Split String In Smaller Strings
I have a string consisting of say 1000 characters. Want I want to do is to split the string at the first space after the first 80 characters, enter a <br> tag and after the <br> tag carry on with the rest of the string.

Then it needs to repeat this with the remaining string and split it again at the first string after 80 characters till it reach the end of the string. I got it in a way to split it after 80 characters and enter a <br> tag, but it's not working properly and I don't have any idea how to repeat it. PHP Code:

Correct String-split And Reassemble?
I need to split a long piece of text from a textarea box into small
chunks, then POST these chunks to my credit-card provider, whereupon he
will POST them back to my script, which will reassemble them into the
original text and display it. This is necessary because my credit-card
provider has a limit on all POSTed variables, which must be 255
characters or less each.

I thought that this would be simple to do. I used substr to take bites
out of the string, then included each piece as a hidden variable in my
form. When I received the return POST, I reassembled all the strings
using the (.) concatenator, then printed this out.

The problem is, pieces of the original text are missing, and there are
numerous // escape elements present in the text.

Here is my code:

$questions = $_POST['questions']; // coming from a previous POST

$questions=substr($questions, 0, 3556); // I put a limit on the total
string size.

$questions0=substr($questions, 0, 254);
$questions1=substr($questions, 254, 254);
$questions2=substr($questions, 508, 254);
$questions3=substr($questions, 762, 254); // etc.

<INPUT TYPE="HIDDEN" NAME="questions0" value="<?=$questions0?>" >
<INPUT TYPE="HIDDEN" NAME="questions1" value="<?=$questions1?>" >
<INPUT TYPE="HIDDEN" NAME="questions2" value="<?=$questions2?>" >
<INPUT TYPE="HIDDEN" NAME="questions3" value="<?=$questions3?>" > //
etc.

Then I POST the data, and then it comes back to my redirect page, which
uses the following code:

$questions0=$_POST['questions0'];
$questions1=$_POST['questions1'];
$questions2=$_POST['questions2'];
$questions3=$_POST['questions3']; // etc.

$questions=$questions0 . $questions1 . $questions2 . $questions3 .
$questions4 . $questions5 . $questions6 . $questions7 . $questions8 .
$questions9 . $questions10 . $questions11 . $questions12 . $questions13
.. $questions14; // concatenate it

print ($questions); // I display $questions. It is mostly there, with
parts missing, and many //s here and there.

How To Split The Page From Php
I need some advice on how to split a page where a top section, something
like a banner stays stationery, and the rest can be scrolled. Normally this
would be done using framesets, two frames would do the job.

Unfortunately since all the code is generated from PHP I would need to
assign separate scripts to each frame, and this is what I am trying to avoid
if possible.

I like to return a html page and have it split. Also it should be compatible
with the common browsers.

If not, is it possible to generate and return the content of a frameset in
one go or the frames have to be returned separately?

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:

SQL Split Results

Having Trouble With A Simple Split().
The $file (comma delimeted file) that I am reading in contains multiple lines but when I run the script it stops after the first line. Whats strange is if I remove the split() function it rolls through the entire file just fine.

<?php

// File Location
$file = "/somefile.txt";

// File Array
$fcontents = file ("$file");
while (list ($i, $line) = each ($fcontents)) {

// Split Line Into Array
$printline = split(",",$line);
echo "$printfile[2] $printfile[3] $printfile[5]<br>";

Split Large Xml Files
I've an XML file that takes more than the hosting time limit to be readed by
a PHP script.

What I'd like to do is split the large XML file (can be more than 30MB) in
little parts and keep the header for every file.

Here is the idea:

<total>
<head>
</head>
<info>
</info>
<info>
</info>
<info>
</info>
....
</total>

The only change is the amount of "info" available. What I'd like is to split
the file to create littles ones whit the same <head></headdatas but each
with less <infotags (say limited to 3 for every file).

It's there any simple way ? This will only be done if the file is bigger
than 1MB

OT? Split Variable, Then POST?
I am using a simple HTML form to POST data to my credit-card provider.

However, my credit-card provider has a limit on incoming variables. No
variable can be greater than 256 bytes.

Since my form has a text-area box that may hold data that is greater
than 256 bytes, I must find a way to split these data into 256-byte
chunks before the "Submit" button is pressed.

Can this be done using PHP? Is there a way to accomplish this split
and still be able to use the simple HTML form-action tag for the
actual POSTing?

Split Text Into Two Columns
I want to be able to split the contents of a text field into two or maybe
three columns. The text field contains text AND HTML mark-up.

My initial thought was to find the middle character and then go to the
nearest space and split the text that way, but it sometimes splits in the
middle of an HTML tag: not pretty!

My next idea was to strip the HTML tags from the text and then split it up
and then reapply the HTML tags, but I am not sure this would work either.

Has anyone come across this problem and do you have a solution or know of
one? I would really appreciate it.

RegExp To Split HTML-File
Following might sound a little dumb but it seems I am not capable of understanding regular expressions at all. I am building a template system in php. works all great so far. Now i am trying to implement files into a template and need to find out a few things. So here is where I stand:

I have a complete html-file in a one-line string. now I want to extract 3 things from it using preg_replace.

1) anything between <head> and </head> EXcluding <title> and <meta> tags.
2) any parameters in the body-tag which are event related. e.g. onload onunload onclick etc. but not styletags and no things like bgcolor and stuff either
3) everything between <body> and </body>

I plan und putting it together in a string like and then explode it to have all 3 values in an array. like:

$result = "1*#*2*#*3";
$data = explode("*#*",$result);

Doing A Split The Way I Used To Do It In Perl - Overwhelmed With Options
I'm trying to export data from a pipe delimited file (|) with php,
trying to get away from perl entirely.

My old perl script opens the file and sticks it in an array, then
handles each line as a record in the database table by splitting the
line like this:

($MLSNo, $Status, $DOM, $Address, $Unit, $City, $Area, $LP, $SP, $BT,
$SqFt, $Bed, $Bth, $PB, $Gar, $Garno, $YrBlt, $TBMap, $Acres,
$LotSqFt, $HOA, $Freq) = split (/|/,$i);

How can I achieve the same with php?

Split Up Text File By Keyword...
Does anyone know how to split up a text file by a key word in a while loop?
I have a 300k file that has 350 office names and each time I get to a new office name, i want to insert all of the text into a mysql column/table.

I receive a report every morning with the status of 350 different offices and would like to email each office their status.

I have used different varaiations of explode(), split(),fopen(),

file(), fseek(), exec(), array(), fread(), join(), and a few others, and i can not seem to get it right.

Regular Expression To Split SQL Statement
Does anybody know a good pattern for PHP regular expression (like
preg_match) to split an existing SQL statement into their parts?

For example, if I have this:

$sql = "select field1, field2 from tab1, tab2 where tab1.id = tab2.id
order by tab2.title, tab1.id";

I can use this to split the statement:

$pattern="/(select)(.*)(from)(.*)(where)(.*)(order by)(.*)/";
preg_match($pattern, $sql, $ary);

So I will get my field list, table list, where statement and order
statement into separate array elements.

What I search is a pattern that will handle optional statements as
well. For example if I leave out the "order by", my pattern won't
work. I also would like to use the same pattern on "left join" and
"having" within the sql statement.

So maybe, somebody out there has already developed such an expression
and can help me out here.

Article Split Into Multiple Pages
I have a website with articles from a MySQL database and i know its possible to split an article into multiple pages because i have a thing from http://xhawk.net/projects/yaapi/ that shows the intro when a id=?? is used and then displayes the rest when id=??&page=1 is used. ok

But when i try to edit the code it is hard to extract the bits that actually split the article up.

Is is possible to o the following things:show the article in multiple pagesshow a 'next' and 'back' linksuse tags such as #intro# and #page#not have coding like the above url use, when i say that i mean using a main file to do everything from and then a another page to actually show it.

Split Dynamic Content PHP Or Javascript
I have been working on a new site for ages trying to come up with a good way to cleanly split up content using PHP or Javascript.

Basically what I want to do is split dynamic content that includes links in to certain length chunks and not just cut off the string in the middle of a link. The length will be determined by the current users font-size.

Is there a PHP function that does this by any chance or do you know of one, javascript also.
