Help Please: Insert String Into File At Specific Location
I want to open a file and write some string between the the 3rd line and the 4th line. my code (as follows) can insert after the 3rd line but somehow it owerwrites the 4th line. So i lost its original content. As my original file has more than 10000 lines of code, I'm looking for a handy way to do that. $content = "new content here" $handle = fopen("test.wrl", "r+"); //open file $theData = ""; $i = 1; while($i<4){ $theData += fgets($handle); $i++; } fputs($handle, $content); //write fclose($handle); //close it

Using PHP To Parse Emails And Print To Specific Printer
We're trying to write a script that will monitor 6 email addresses and if an email arrives it will print to a specific network printer based on the email address. So if the address is 'department1@domain.com' it will print to 'dept1ptr'. Each printer can be setup either on a network print server or printed to directly via IP address... they're all HP printers. Any suggestions on a route to go with this? I'm very familiar with PHP but I've never written a script to do something like this... and if PHP isn't the right avenue to take, I'd love other options.

Parse Part Of String (mid String Function ?)
Can someone tell me how to parse part of a string? I can use the following: <?php $text = $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; //$PHP_SELF //(document.url); echo $text; ?> to get this result: "Your currently at /test.php " I just want to get "test.php " without the dash. I also need to parse out parts of other strings. I know how to use Mid(), Left(), and Right() in VB, but no clue for PHP.

Rtrim() A Specific String
Is it possible to trim a specific string of characters from the end of an existing string? I know you can use rtrim() to strip characters off, but rtrim() reads a character, one at a time, comparing it to the end of the string. I want to eliminate an entire string (and ONLY that string) from the end of the string in question. Example: I have a string that looks like this: 2:E,9,4:B+C,5-D,6:C+G&D,12:0+E,8:E I want to trim ,9,4:B+C,5-D,6:C+G&D,12:0+E,8:E off the end so that it leaves only 2:E. However, if I did rtrim($string,',9,4:B+C,5-D,6:C+G&D,12:0+E,8:E'); It would eat up everything, because "2," ":," and "E," are all contained in the trim parameters. Does that make sense? I'm basically looking for a literal trim kind of function.

Extract A Specific String
What function can extract a string from another one: I have the string "ABABA [FUNC:variable text] ABABA [FUNC:variable text]". I need to extract the text "variable text". Since "variable text" is variable, I can't use the regular string functions. I need somthing with regex, that will use the pattern :'[FUNC:.*]' I am sure there is a generic function in php.

Parsing And Rearranging A Specific String
I want to break up a string and rearrange it. I'm tearing a date apart and remaking the format. I need to be able to change: 10/30/2003 18:00:00to2003-10-30 18:00:00 Or, in abstract terms (and it needs to be abstract so it can work on any date in this format that needs to be modified): XX/YY/ZZZZ AA:BB:CCtoZZZZ-XX-YY AA:BB:CC The date will always be in this extact syntax, there doesn't need to be any error checking for it. Zeros are filled in, so AA:BB:CC is always 2 degits each, as are XX and YY.

Pulling Specific Data Out Of A String...
I have a string of data that I've stored in a variable $textSting. Now, I want to make that $textString variable be only the first 20 characters AFTER the 12th character (so, characters 13-33). Here's some other things to note: The string will always have at least 12 characters, so cutting out the first twelve will always be an optionThe string may not have up to 20 characters that follow the 12th character - there may be any number less than thatIf the string has less than or equal to 20 characters after the 12th character, then I just need the total rest of the chacaters. So, if there's 30 characters total, I'd want to cut out the first twelve, then display all of the remaining 18.If there are MORE than 20 characters, then after the 20 are displayed, I'd like to tack on "..." to the end of the last character.

Blocking A Specific String From Being Blocked From Submittion
I have a small advertising script that will advertise a link on the main page of my site, what I'm wondering is how I can block a link from being submitted, what I currently have is an if statement that will not allow a specific link, but it is case sensitive. so for example, if I want to block site1.com, the user can submit SITE1.com, or sItE1.com, SiTE1.com, etc.. and they would all go through fine. How can I have it so that it doesn't matter the case, it will block the whole site1.com, no matter what the case is? OR, an alternative I was thinking about is forcing all letters to go lower case, is that a possibility in php?

If not, are there any recommendations for what I can use to parse an incoming email which may or may not be MIME?

Parse A String With An Email Address
I need to parse a string with an embedded email address. The string always has the format NAME (name@domain) SOMETEXT. What I need to get is the email address as name@domain. I came up with this (I know it's broken, but it's a first start): <?php function ParseTicketEmail($ticket) { global $TicketEmail; for ($i=0; $i< strlen($ticket); $i++){ //we need to pass everything between ( and ) to $TicketEmail nothing else do { $ticket[$i] = $discarded; } while ($ticket[$i] != '('); while ($ticket[$i] != ')'){ $TicketEmail = $TicketEmail . $ticket[$i]; } } return $TicketEmail; } $ticket = "hello (world@world.com) bla"; print "$TicketEmail"; print "$discarded"; ?> But that doesn't return anything for either $TicketEmail or $discarded. So: a: why doesn't it return anything for either string? (It's too early in the morning here) b: does anyone have such a function anywhere for me to check out for how to do it?

Fwrite At Specific Point In File
I'm doing a little feedback type feature on one of my sites, so a visitor can just type in their name and comment and it's posted to a page (feedback.html) which is displayed in an iframe. This all works fine and dandy but when I write to the feedback.html page the new comments obviously go on the bottom, so that after a few feedback comments have come in you need to scroll down to read the new ones, so I would like it so that it posts the new comments at the start of the new file. This can't be literally the start though, as the feedback.html has three lines of headers, or 84 characters. So what I need is a way to point the file pointer at the 85th character or the fourth line and perform the fwrite there. I've tried using fseek but haven't had any joy with that. Does anybody know what I'm talking about and is anyone able to help?

Ive used file_get_contents to bring the file into a string, but now Im stuck getting that max value out. Unless theres a function for this, I believe the direction I would need to take is collect all value numbers using some string manipulation function, throw them all into an array, and just get the max value of the array. Is there an easier way?

Pulling Date-specific Data From Flat File
I'm almost a complete newbie to using PHP and I was hoping one of you guys can point me in the right direction. I'm working on a site for a brand of handmade fruit juice and it only needs one bit of dynamic content: the info on what fruit is in the juice and where it is coming from (vendor, country etc.) today and tomorrow (the content of the juice is different everyday). So I thought it would be easiest to put that information in a flat file (an Excel file would be ideal but a plain text would do too) on a weekly basis and try to pull out the needed info with PHP. Except I don't know how yet. I don't expect any of you to do the work for me but if someone could point me to which functions of PHP I should do some research on, I'd be most grateful.
