Hey, that's cool, haven't been there in ages though.

You think you can offer some specific advice on what could better could be done here?

[[SOLVED] Why does this regexp eat the first character??]

if you go to http://regex.larsolavtorvik.com/ you can test your regex expressions live. It is a very handy tool to bookmark

[[SOLVED] how to load php class from another domain?]

Plus it would add a lot of script waiting time.

I am sorry I meant to add on that I already checked those, could you specify more of what you would like for a tutorial site?

[[SOLVED] Why does this regexp eat the first character??]

using

$text = "LeftWidth =      16em\n";
preg_match_all('/([a-zA-Z]*)\s*=(\s*?)([ a-zA-Z0-9]*)\n/i', $text, $result);
$newvalue = "24em";

$text = preg_replace('/([a-zA-Z]*)\s*=(\s*?)([ a-zA-Z0-9]*)\n/i', "$1=$2_REMOVE_$newvalue", $text);
$text = str_replace("_REMOVE_",'',$text);
echo "[$text]<br />\n";

I can get the result you want.

The reason why this happens is because when the text is parsed the "newvalue" variable exists so it puts in "$1=$224em\n"

This is where preg_replace tries to parse it and may get confused by this. You could use a space instead of _REMOVE_ but then str_replace would so easily take out every space in the whole thing.

[Add two strings together = 0 ???]

you could do

echo "$monthup <br>";
echo "$monthdown <br>";
$answer = (int)$monthup + (int)$monthdown;
echo $answer;

or

$monthup = (int)trim($monthup);
$monthdown = (int)trim($monthdown);
echo "$monthup <br>";
echo "$monthdown <br>";
$answer = (int)$monthup + (int)$monthdown;
echo $answer;

You may need to cast them to numbers as an integer or a real number[ use (real) instead of (int)] before adding them together. if the variable has a space before the number by accident, trim() will remove it.

[My Tutorial Site]

I've been working on a tutorial site(I am doing PHP video tutorials) and I would like to know how I can improve my site.

Here's the link http://kloplop321.com/php-tutorials/

 

I think I have made it pretty simple for beginners. Though, I need to redo the first few tutorials(my first time, so rusty, hurried, and not refined) though.
