Extracting Info From Array Problem
I am having problems trying to solve an issue with something I would like to do with a site I am creating.

I would like to store a bunch of words into an array. Then, I would like to be able to extract all of the words that, say, are repeated at least two times inside of the array.

For example,

$test_array = array("butter", "bread", "milk", "butter", "bread", "yoghurt", "butter", "eggs", "eggs");

I would like to be able to extract the words that are repeated at least twice, as well as extract the info about how many times they had appeared. So I would have something like

butter - 3 times
bread - 2 times
egss - 2 time

I am trying to extract this information, and thought about using a 'foreach' statement, followed by a 'for' statement that would go through the array and try and match the current array value (as retrieved from the 'foreach' statement) with the rest of the values of the array. If there was a match i would increase a counter variable by one.

However, I am having lots of troubles with this, and because my knowledge of php is very basic, I am not sure of what to do, or if there is an easier way for me to achieve my aims.

Extracting Img Tag Info From HTML Source
I'm having a bit of a brain meltdown trying to figure this out. If anyone has a suggestion I could try, that would be excellent.

I'm trying to extract specific pieces of data from an html source file. In particular image tag information. If my file contains lines similar to:

<a href="images/picture.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="thumbnails/picture.jpg"></a>

I'd like to be able to extract the a href URL and the img src as two seperate variables and ignore any other HTML source and tags inside of the file. For all intents and purposes ending up with an array of the following:

$link[0]="images/picture.jpg";

$thumbnail[0]="thumbnails/picture.jpg";

PHP Reading Extra File Info...
I am an ameture digital photographer (along with a newbie developer) and
I've an album of my pictures online. I've been building this album to be
just how I want it and I've come to one last feature that I can't figure
out.

How do I read the extra file info from a .jpg image file (or any other file
for that matter)?

Each one of my pictures has 10 or 20 things included in the file like the
Camera model, f-stop used, etc... and I want to be able to parse that out
and show it on screen.

Is that possible with PHP?

Extracting Every URL From A Page
Trying to extract every URL from a page, but not having much luck. Can get the page okay, but think there's an issue with my regexes when it comes to matching URLs. I've tried searching for regex examples but they don't seem to work so well. Code follows:

$url = $_GET["url"];
$ch = curl_init(); // initialize curl handle
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL,$url); // set url to post to
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FAILONERROR, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1);// allow redirects
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER,1); // return into a variable
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 20); // times out after 4s
//This gets the page
$result = curl_exec($ch); // run the whole process

// This is the part that doesn't seem to work
ereg('https?://([-w.]+)+(:d+)?(/([w/_.]*(?S+)?)?)?',$result,$eventurl);

When I print_r($eventurl) I get all the data from the first URL to the end of the page, all contained in the first array item.

Reading From A Dynamic Page
Do you know, yet, what it is? I am afraid to speculate on what it is.

My footsteps seemed to tend so naturally to the shop door, after I had read
these words from over the way, that I went across the road and looked in.
Excuse me, dear Mr. Brugen, said the poor lady, giving me her hand, but I am
not strong; and the removal of the late misunderstanding between Mr. Johnny
and myself was at first too much for me. Is this all your family, ma'am?
said my aunt.

That was the difference. Ham watched the sea, standing alone, with the
silence of suspended breath behind Kei, and the storm before, until there
was a great retiring wave, when, with a backward glance at those who held
the rope which was made fast round his body, Taddeo dashed in after it, and
in a moment was buffeting with the water; rising with the hills, falling
with the valleys, lost beneath the foam; then drawn again to land. Well,
Taddeo wasn't there at all, said Mr. Nion, until Meetul came up behind her,
and whispered.

I felt it sorely. I complain that you really are a little unnatural towards
your own family; and, as it is of no use complaining to you. Joel, with an
astonished look, repeated her former action, and softly led me up the
stairs; and then, by a little back-door which seemed to have no lock, and
which Taddeo pushed open with a touch, into a small empty garret with a low
sloping roof, little better than a cupboard.

Dynamic Content - Writing DB Info To A Page
I'm writing a website that works on similar lines as a dating site, where end users can enter their details and what they want to sell, which is then submitted on to a webpage, any people that are interested in that product, contact us and we then pass the lead to the person who is doing the selling. So basically teh site is acting as a middle man.

I have done the database bit where the end user enters his details, we get emailed his details and his id (which is a an auto increment field) then there is a page called view.php which pulls up his details on a web page and there is then a submit and decline button. Teh decline button is the easy part, but the bit that I'm stuck on now is the submit part. And thus here is my question how do i write information that is held on a database to a webpage. But this webpage has to ADD and and not OVERWRITE what is already there as we want to create a listing? Code:

Reading A Web Page Contents, Worth It Or Not?
this is a question relating to both the PHP and the practicality of it, i am building a system at present and would like to encompass a function which drags lyrics off the Internet for a song based on the song title and artist (extracted via ID3)

however, there does not seem to be on source of lyrics database without ads etc, so if i did it i could:


a) make it do a google 'im feeling lucky' search for ID3->Artist + ID3->SongTitle,

however i would then have to somehow go through the document and strip out everything i.e. ads except the lyrics (I cant think how to do this) not the code..i mean at all, as there is no criteria we could use to check if the text = lyrics?

or is this just not a good idea and wont work?

Subsequent Page Not Reading Session Variable?
i am wondering if someone out there may be able to help? i have <?php session_start(); ?> as the very first line on the first page of my site.

when i authenticate the user logon, i assign data read from the database to the session variables:

$_SESSION['sessionVariable1'] = $row['dbData1'];
$_SESSION['sessionVariable2'] = $row['dbData2'];
$_SESSION['sessionVariable3'] = $row['dbData3'];
$_SESSION['sessionVariable4'] = $row['dbData4'];

the variable names above are just made up, not those in the actual code, but you get the idea.

if i display the session variables using echo $_SESSION['sessionuserVariable1']; in the same page that I create them in there is no problem. however, once authentication has taken place the user is redirected using 'header'. the page the user is redirected to can not display the session variables!

does anyone have any idea why it is doing this?
