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.

Split The String Into Two Separate Strings
I have this variable: $str = "4xAura Extraction"; I need it to split the string into two separate strings containing this: $split[0]: 4 $split[1]: Aura Extraction I can't use explode(), because that will split it up again if there are x's other than the one that comes after the number. What would be the best way to get this done. I'm asking because I'm not real good at string manipulation when it comes to mutilating them.

Replacing Two Strings Within A String And Copying What's Between Them
Yeah, kinda hard to sum up in a title. Basically, I'm trying to do something like BBCode, but I'm only making one tag--a link tag. For example, a user types [url]http://the.wesite.com/[/url], then the php code replaces [url] with <a href="http://the.website.com/"> and [/url] with </a>. Then the URL would appear again between the <a> tags. I've tried looking around, but I can't figure out which of the many string replacement functions I need to use.

How To Search Strings Escaped By Mysql Real Escape String()?

Why Is Preg_match_all Slower On A Large String Than In A Loop Of Smaller Strings With The Same Overall Length?
While using the following loop to extract images from the google search engine I discovered that preg_match_all works much faster parsing small strings in a loop than extracting all of the urls at once from a much larger string. This surprised me because I expected the preg_match_all to perform the task much faster. Why is this, and is there an easier way to resolve this matter? for ($i = 0; $i < $m; $i++, $start+=20){ $saURL = "http://images.google.com/images?q=" . $searchString . "&start=" . $start; preg_match_all("/:(wwwS+?.(jpg|png|bmp|gif))/i", file_get_contents( $saURL ), $matches); $image = array_merge($image, $matches[1]); }

In ASP it would be like this: If Left(strFileName, 4) = "info" Then Response.Write(strFileName & "<br>") End If Does PHP have a function like this?

Find Data Between 2 Characters In A String?
I want to find and display data found between two characters in a string. Example> Form sends the following to the .php page.... $data1 = "The Domain Name [somedomain.com] has been renewed"; I want to be able to pull out and display only "somedomain.com". Example, I want a variable called $domain to only hold the domain name itself, without the brackets or the text. somedomain.com I have investigated function strstr(). $data1 = "The Domain [somedomain.com] has been renewed"; $domain = strstr($data1, '['); OUTPUTS: [somedomain.com] has been renewed I can then use substr() to remove the first "[". $domain = substr("$domain", 1); OUTPUTS somedomain.com] has been renewed But, I am stuck, conceptually, with what to do to trim the end after .com . Note, somedomain.com will change. One run, it could be somedomain.com and the next, it could be "somethingelseentirely.com". Thus, the character length of that part of the string will change each time.

So i tried escaping the brackets with backslashes but that doesn't work - it just outputs this error: Warning: Delimiter must not be alphanumeric or backslash in could someone tell me what i need to do to be able to search for "[g]" and "[/g]" ?

Hi I need to read a .txt file and sort the value, highest firs, lowest last. The .txt file contains the following info on a different row: altavista:joe:5 yahoo:eric:2 disney:dis:4 the firs thing i did was reading the first line and split the code by ":" so that echo $referrer[0] //would give altavista echo $referrer[1] //would give joe echo $referrer[2] //would give 5 I want to sort these lines on the numbers(highest first, lowest last) and print this in a table.

Breaking Strings?
I have a string (actually 100's of these, but lets take one): $string ="TI: Some journal title AU: SomeAuthor,-S; Smith,-A; Jones,-B SO: SomeSource. 2002 Jan 9; 287(2): 188; discussion 189-90 JN: Some Journal Title"; This needs to be turned into an array: $entry = array( 'Some Item Title', 'SomeAuthor,-S; Smith,-A; Jones,-B', 'SomeSource. 2002 Jan 9; 287(2): 188; discussion 189-90', 'Some Journal Title'); As you can see, each array item should be defined by what comes after either/all of the following: 'TI:' 'AU:' 'SO:' 'JN:' So, I need to be able to create a pattern that can look through the string and return everything in between TI: and AU:, then AU: and SO, etc. for example: eregi(???, $string, $entry); I'm fairly new to this and can't seem to figure out the regex I need for the pattern.
