Removing A Comma From The End Of An Array
I am reading a file into an array using this:
$listFile = "add2db.txt";
if (!($fp = fopen($listFile, "r")))
exit("Unable to open the input file, $listFile.");
$buffer = fread($fp, filesize($listFile));
fclose($fp);
The very last character in that $listFile will always be a comma. What I need to do is remove that last comma (and only that comma) from $buffer before I can continue on. What do I need to do to accomplish this?

Seperating An Array With A Comma
I'm trying to seperate the output of an array with a comma. I can't figure out how to eliminate the last comma. Here is my code: $result = mysql_query($query,$connection) or die (mysql_error()); $fw = fopen("/var/www/html/ecast/windex/graph.html","w"); fwrite($fw, "/ "); if ($new_rows = mysql_fetch_array($result)){ do{ fwrite($fw, $new_rows[0]); fwrite($fw, ", "); }while($new_rows = mysql_fetch_array($result)); } fwrite($fw, " /"); fclose($fw); ?> Output: / 85, 86, 87, 89, / How can I eliminate that last comma?

Removing An Element From The POST Array
I have a form that is posting it data to PHP_SELF. This then gets processed and does it's thing. My question is that when I hit the submit button, I get all the data from my form but I also get one item from the Submit button itself. Can I make the submit button not include itself in the POST? Here is an example output of print_r($_POST) Array ( [ACPlatSearch] => -1 [ACDeedSearch] => -1 [ACUserInfo] => -1 [ACPropertySearch] => -1 [ACStatsTotalSales] => -1 [SavePermissions] => Save ) The last element is the submit button, the other ones are checkboxes. I don't want that last one. So is there a simple way to not include it or do I need to loop through the array and remove it manually? I need the rest of the array intact for further processing with array functions.
Need Help Putting Data Into Array / Removing Duplicates
I've got a variable that looks like: 31, 1, 1,1,1,1,164, 164,29, 29,29,29,37,2,2,2,2,2,2, 147,147,26,26,49, 138, 138,138,138,138,138,138,137, 137,168, 170, 170,48, 172, 44, 187, 183, 185, 195, 184, 186, 45, 46, 194, 167, 182, 181, 34, 18, 16, 25, 28, 53, 53,11, 11,10, 20, 192, 39, 54,54,54,54,54,54,54,54,54,54,54,54,54,54,54,54,54,54, 54,54,54,54,54,54,54,54,54,54,54,54,54,54,54,54,54,54,54,54, 54,54,54,54,54,54,54,54,54,54,54,54,54,54,54,54,54,54,54,54, 54,54,54,54,54,58, 58,58,58,58,58,58,58,58,58,58,58,58,58,58, 58,58, 175, 176, 180, 177, 178, 179, I'm sending it to a mysql query which will say NOT IN($variable 0) (the 0 is added because the variable ends with a comma). I'd like to remove the duplicates but have no idea how. I figured if I stick it in an array it will be easier. There is an array_unique function after all. But I have no idea how to get the data in an array. I tried $arr1 = str_split($variable); but it spit out an error, probably due to the trailing comma.

Removing Quotes From An Array, String Or Txt File See Code
I'm trying to process a tab delimited file where each line in the file has around 12 tab delimited elements. My problem is the elements are surrounded by "quotes" and I need the script to remove the quotes after loading the file to the $addresses variable. The quotes need to be removed somewhere within the code below or by processing the file before loading. //read in the name and address lines from the txt file //each line becomes an element in the array $addresses= file("download.txt"); //count the number of address lines in the array $number_of_addresses = count($addresses); if ($number_of_addresses == 0) { echo "No addresses to process"; } echo "<table>"; for($i=1; $i<$number_of_addresses; $i++) { //split each line or row $line = explode(" ",$addresses[$i]);

Deleting Last Comma
The code below displays pet names like so: Fido, Bowser, Kittycat, Spot, and I want to delete only the last comma. I tried 'substr' and 'rtrim' and both of those delete the space and comma between each name, not just the last name as I'd like, so I end up with: Fido,Bowser,Kittycat,Spot, How would I delete only the last comma, so that it is this instead? Fido, Bowser, Kittycat, Spot Even with trim and substr, I end up with:

Comma Delimited File
I am trying to read comma delimited rows of text. The problem is that some fields may be encapsulated in "" - particularly the text fields but not numeric fields. Is there a simple efficient way to parse the fields with comma but also strip off the "" encapsulating some of the fields with php? The problem is the "" encapsulation is optional. Some fields will have it, some won't.

I am having users submit large numbers into a form, and when those values are returned to them later I want to have the commas in the correct places. ie. 123456.00 changes to 123,456.00.

Seperator Instead Of A Comma For Listed Items In DB?
I'm making a recipe database, and need to have DB fields in mySQL that will have lists of values that would get sent to an array to be worked on. I anticipate that at times a comma will need to be used in the value itself. So, what's a commonly used symbol or something that people tend to use as a separator of a list that would then be used in the split() function to send the elements into an array?

Comma Delimited Csv Has Commas Inside Fields
I need to import a CSV file into a database daily. That operation in itself is simple enough but the trouble is that some fields are quoted because they have commas inside them. How do I handle this with my import script? It would be much better if the CSV was created with all fields quoted or used a different delimited but sadly that is not an option.
Regular Expression For Comma-delimited Pairs
I have a textarea form field for inputting (or pasting) pairs of data. I need a regular expression pattern to validate each line for the following double quote number double quote comma double quote alpha string double quote carriage return The following comes close, but doesn't check for a carriage return at the end of each line: ^"([0-9]?)+"([,]s?"([A-Za-z0-9]+)")*$ For example the following would return true: "1","John" "2","Paul" "3","George" "4","Ringo"
Stripping Quotes Out Of A Comma Delimited File?
I have a flat file that I'm trying to stick into a MySQL database. One record per line, multiple fields per record, and many of them are null fields which are just double quotes without a space between. It's probably nothing really major for people who have done this before, but I'm a bit stumped. The file is comma delimited. Every field is surrounded by double quotes. I've done quite a bit of searching, on the php site and elsewhere, but I can't seem to get it to strip the quotes out so I can explode the file line by line to grab the fields.

How To Remove "comma, Full Stop" From A Sentence
I have sentences as follow: $quote[1] = "To be or not to be, that is the question."; $quote[2] = "Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind."; $quote[3] = "Love all, trust a few. Do wrong to none."; now I would like to do the following, 1) for each quote[$i], remove all ","(comma) or "."(full stop)...does anyone know how? I have the following code but it does not work.

Removing Bad Words
Looking for suggestions on how to handle bad words that might get passed in through $_GET['item'] variables. My first thoughts included using str_replace() to strip out such content, but then one ends up looking for characters that wrap around the stripped characters and it ends up as a recursive ordeal that fails to identify a poorly constructed $_GET['item'] variable (when someone hand-types the item into the line and makes a simple typing error). So the next thoughts involved employing a list of good words and if any word in the $_GET['item'] list doesn't fall into the list of good words, then an empty string gets returned. Any suggestions on how to handle this?
Removing PHP Coding
I have php coding that is stored in mysql blobs. Now I want to index words in these blobs in an attempt to make some sort of a search engine. Example: How can I use php to make this mysql text: "Once upon a time there were <?php echo $num_bears ?> bears in a small cage in a zoo in Russia. They had <?php echo $num_relatives ?> relatives that lived there with them." Change into this: "Once upon a time there were bears in a small cage in a zoo in Russia. They had relatives that lived there with them." Point is: - remove everything between and including "<?php" and "?>" I'm trying to do some indexing, and I need to remove all my php coding... :)
Removing Characters
I am passing a string over to a calculator form but need to strip out the £ and , the string comes over as /index.php?price1=£195,000 this populates an input field as below <input type="text" name="price1" class="fields" value="<? if ($price1 != "") { echo $price1; } else { echo "100000"; }?>"> I have added at the top of the page <? $price1 = str_replace("£", "", $price1); $price1 = str_replace(",", "", $price1);?> this strips the £ but gives an error with the comma.
Removing Whitespaces
I try to remove whitespaces from a string using the preg_replace function like preg_replace("/[ ][ ]*/"," ",$string); This works great, but makes no handles all characters in the same way. I want to preserve data between double quotes. So, hello world "It is a sunny... world" shall be reduced to hello world "It is a sunny... world" and should not remove the whitespaces between the quotes.
Removing File
I created a dir with a file in it, using php. I set the file mode to 'w'. It worked and everything, but now i can't delete the file. I tried deleting it using php, in ftp, and in ssh.

Removing Duplicates
I'm getting some data from a database, but there are duplicates for every entry. For instance, if you looked a table of posts for this forum, you'd see posts and the author. I'm getting the author, so there could be hundreds or more of repeats. I'd like to basically get all the uniques in a column.
