[[SOLVED] Call a function while using preg_replace is it posible?]

Thanks a lot,

I will take a look at that see if i can work it out

[[SOLVED] Call a function while using preg_replace is it posible?]

Im trying to update my BBCode function so it will check links and emails have the current beginnings eg mailto:, http:// etc

What I would like to know is how i can add a function into the following so the $1 is checked my my fix_url() function.

 

$str = ' My wbsite '; // my link

$str = preg_replace('/\[url\=(.*?)\](.*?)\[\/url\]/is', '<a href="$1">$2</a>', $str);

 

I have tried changing the code to the following and many versions of it with no luck!

 

$str = ' My wbsite '; // my link

$str = preg_replace('/\[url\=(.*?)\](.*?)\[\/url\]/is', '<a href="'.fix_url('$1').'">$2</a>', $str);

 

If It cant be done this way could someone please point me in the right direction to another way I could do the same type of thing.

 

Thanks in advance

 

[[SOLVED] return data from part word search?]

Thanks for that,

I did look at that earlyer but wasnt too sure it would do what i wanted but it seems to work

[[SOLVED] return data from part word search?]

Is there any way I can return results by searching part words ?

eg I have a table with 5 columns

 

Id | Name | address | Phone | email

 

Lets say I have 3 people in this table with the following names

 

Smith, Stephen Michael

Wilson, Sarah Louise

Wood, Stephanie  Anne

 

What I want to be-able to do is search part of the name eg "steph" and get the results that contain this.

which from this example would be

 

Smith, Stephen Michael

Wood, Stephanie  Anne

 

At the moment I am returning all the results and looping through them doing a php check but I now have over 2000 people and growing fast.

any help that can be given would be appreciated

[eregi_replace blocking £ signs ?]

All i can tell u is the £ shows up as £ in the code however I cant even get a str_replace("£","£", $whatever) to work.

But... Once i have used the htmlentities() on it i can simply remove the  and i can then display it.

 

It just means i have had to change my code a little later on but, its no real problem now seems to work ok. I would of like to of blocked out all the strange symbols but they all seem to be displaying correctly now so its all good. until i find somthing else that dont show correctly

 

thanks for everyones help though

[eregi_replace blocking £ signs ?]

Thanks for that, My docunent is saved in utf-8 format and I tried the utf8_encode() but it made even more problems.

 

so for now i have taken the following out

$document = eregi_replace("[^[:space:][:punct:]a-zA-Z0-9]"," ",$document);

 

and replaced it with the following, I know this does not do what the above does but it seems to fix many of the errors

on my site and my £'s are not being removed, so it will have to do for now i think.

$document = str_replace("Â", "", htmlentities($document, ENT_QUOTES));

 

thanks for your help though

 

[eregi_replace blocking £ signs ?]

Im having even more problems with my £ sign

 

Im trying to pass a document through the following code (hoping it will stop any strange symbols being passed onto the page).

 

$document = eregi_replace("[^[:space:][:punct:]a-zA-Z0-9]"," ",$document);

 

I had to use <META http-equiv=Content-Type content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"> in my header to get my £ signs to show correctly and now it gets removed when the document is passed through the above line? everything else i want to allow through is getting there with no problems and i realy dont want to convert anything to html at this point.

 

Can anyone help with this please. I dont care if its done through another bit of code as long as it will still pass everything this line will.

[[SOLVED] strange symbols appearing like £ ?]

Just so anyone else with this problem knows how i fixed it (eventualy)

 

After changing the following in my HTML header the problem disapeared

 

<meta http-equiv=Content-Type content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">

to

<META http-equiv=Content-Type content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">

 

[[SOLVED] strange symbols appearing like £ ?]

Thanks for that,

 

I have checked the settings on scream and found they where already set to Unicode (UTF- so, I believe thats ok...

However, I am getting the same problem even when i write a page in my text editor so it could be a system setting I'm missing somewhere that could be overiding it (God knows where though).

 

Thanks for your help and if anyone has any ideas I would be very happy to here them.

[[SOLVED] strange symbols appearing like £ ?]

strange symbols appearing

 

This is a problem i have never come across before and I'm stumped to why I am now getting this?

 

I use scream on ubuntu when building websites (but i get the same problem when using a text editor too), I have never had a problem until the last few days I have noticed any £ signs i enter seem to display with a strange a like symbols (Â) before them. Has anyone else had this problem? or can someone point me in the right direction to fixing it? As far as I'm aware i haven't changed any settings that could of done this.

 

thanks for any help anyone can give me...

[flash and java]

Im not 100% sure what you mean by that, the java menu is fine until the drop menu opens and hapens to be in the same area as a flash file, I have noticed this on a number of other sites too.

Infact I have been looking all over and cant find a site that has the menu float over a flash file anywere.

Is it not posible?

[flash and java]

I have a java menu on my site and I displau flash movies on some of the pages, my problem or question is,
Can i stop the flash movie floating over my menus?

when a dropdown java menu is displayed in the same place as a flash file it disapears behind it rather then floating over it?

is there anything that can be done about this or is it better to change to a different form of menu?

[cant connect to local Mysql]

for starters i have only been playing around with mysql for a few days so i know very little about it

I am trying to move a guest book to another server, however I cant connect to mysql and create the needed database

the code we are using is
[code]
$host = 'localhost';
$user = 'username';
$pass = 'password';
$dbname = 'gbook';
$query = "CREATE DATABASE $dbname";
mysql_connect($host, $user, $pass) or die(mysql_error());
mysql_query($query) or die(mysql_error());
[/code]
all we get is the following error!
Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2)

im geussing its the 'localhost' thats the problem, but the server we're trying to move to, is a shared host and gives you access to nothing. I have been told you can access mysql by changing localhost to the correct path but all the information we know is The MySQL installation directory ' /usr/local/mysql' and have no idea how to work out what the correct path is [img src=\"style_emoticons/[#EMO_DIR#]/unsure.gif\" style=\"vertical-align:middle\" emoid=\":unsure:\" border=\"0\" alt=\"unsure.gif\" /]

could anyone help me out here? I have been looking round the net and there are loads of sites explaining how to sort this at the prompt, however we dont have access to one!

[password problem mysql]

that explains it then i needed to make the field longer, I only set it to ten lol

userpassword VARCHAR(10) BINARY NOT NULL

thanks a lot its working fine now

[password problem mysql]

I have setup a table with a number of users
I am now trying to get a login to work but for some reason the password() function
is giving me loads of hassle.

the following is the query being sent to mysql

I have set the user name to username and the password to password just to make life realy easy

SELECT userref FROM users WHERE userid = 'username' AND userpassword = password('password')

if i change it to

SELECT userref FROM users WHERE userid = 'username' AND userpassword = '5d2e19393c'

it works fine so the problem has to be in the encryption

does anyone know of this problem and how to fix it?

I'm completly lost here
