Split String And Get Unique ID
i am trying to assign a unique and constant id to a string and am not sure what the best method is. here is the synopsis:
my value = $myuniqueid
the string = $page
ex. $page = abcdef
a unique id would be attained by using simple number assignments --> a=1 b=2 c=3 so abcdef ='s 123456 (i have no database from which to gain a unique id). i need to return $myuniqueid to the page to use in a js on a php page.
i've tried str_split to get an array then importing the array into preg_replace_callback but its getting messy and of course not working yet :) would a simpler(?) loop into str_replace work? i have a feeling there's a simple way of doing this out there already and i don't need to reinvent the wheel.

How Do You Split A String Using Split()?
I have this PHP statement which works fine and breaks down a string of lines delimited with a into an array. $arrList=split("", $strList); But what I really want is to be able to tell it to split out only the strings that start with the letter "b". E.g. I thought this would work "bW" I tried every regular expression but cant figure it out. I could use some other function combinations to achive this but I though if there is a way to do it with just split()...

Split String Based On String Length
I am trying to break a large string into substrings based on a maximum length. I have managed to do this on to two lines of 100 characters by using the following code: PHP Code: if (strlen($itmaDescription[$t] < 200)) { $str1 = substr($itmaDescription[$t], 0, 100); $str2 = substr($itmaDescription[$t], 101, 200); This works ok for two lines but it cuts off the sentence mid word. What I would like to happen is for the substr to go back to the last space below the 100 character position. I am getting the string from a mySql database and I have tried using the SUBSTRING_INDEX query but I am finding it very difficult to achieve the desired result. I would prefer to break the string within PHP because it fits better with the rest of my code. I am searching for this info as a workaround because I am outputting to PDFlib and can't get multi line text output working. I am attempting to break the string up then output it to PDFlib. If anyone can help with the bigger PDflib problem then I would be well happy.

String Split
I am recieving a POST variable with numbers seperated by underscores in this format eg 2_19 or 1_2_12 etc of variable length but usually no more than a few underscores between each number. How can i extract the numbers from this string as I have looked at substr but this requires knowing the exact length of the numbers. If i don't know the size and numbers before hand what can i do to get the numbers seperated by underscore on their own?

Split String
I have database tables with columns like billingAddress and userName that I would like to display as "Billing Address" and "User Name". So far, I have the following: PHP Code: $columnTitleWordArray=preg_split('/[A-Z]/',$column); $columnTitle=ucwords(implode(" ",$columnTitleWordArray)); It almost works, but it drops the uppercase character that deliminates the string. For example: billingAddress becomes Billing Ddress userName becomes User Ame.

Split String Like 'something.jpg,123'
I am trying to take a string and split it into a filename and a number where the number is what follows the *last* instance of a comma in that string. Split and explode won't work because if the filename part of the original string contains a , then I end up with too many parts. if (!preg_match ('/^(.*),([0-9]+)$/', $string, $matches)) {throwError ();} also fails, because the first part of the regular expression becomes greedy if there is a , in it. I.e. can anyone suggest a solution such that $string = 'something.jpg,123' returns: $matches['filename'] = something.jpg $matches['number'] = 123 $string = 'something,foo.jpg,123' returns: $matches['filename'] = something,foo.jpg $matches['number'] = 123 .............................

Split A String Of Text Into Paragraphs
I'm trying to split a string of text into paragraphs, getting the text input from a form. The assumption (instructions) are that the text is to be saved into a "notepad" file, no wordwrapping format, (the text is mostly articles that are free to republish.) The text is then to be copied and pasted from notepad into the php form, and when the submit button is clicked I am trying to split the text into paragraphs. The paragraphs are all double spaced (at least when they are copied into notepad they are double spaced).

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.

Split The String Into Two Separate Strings

Extracting A String With One Split Function, Rather Than Two
One of my scripts reads through a temporary directory, looks at the timestamp of each file (included in the filenames), and determines whether they're old enough to delete. My current challenge is extracting the timestamp from each filename. I'm sure that it can be done with two split() functions, but would optimally like to use one. Here's an example: $file = "usr/www/temp/1173711918_098f6bcd4621d373cade4e832627b4f6.txt"; $arr = split("_[A-Za-z0-9.]{1,}$", $file); With the code above, $arr[Ɔ'] is "usr/www/temp/1173711918". How would I go about extracting the timestamp using that same split()?

Split A Text String Based On A 10-digit Integer.
I'm trying to split a text string based on a 10-digit integer. Here is an example string that I have: 1829378467This is some text1213873673this is some more text2328744673this is yet more text I need to split the string based on those 10-digit integers and put the results into an array. The text I have is delimited and each resulting array value is in reverse chronological order. I want to then reverse the print-out of the array in order to display the array values in the correct chronological order. Here's what I've got now: $str_array = split("/d{10}/",$string); print_r($str_array); The print_r only displays one array element (0), and it contains the entire string. I'm assuming the split command is not recognizing the other 10-digit integers correctly. Any ideas?
