How do you divide $299 lb / 6.59/kg by 100?

I'm trying to figure out how to place a decimal in the first price of the following: From: $299 lb / 6.59/kg To: $2.99 lb / 6.59/kg While I was able to figure this out where the string was simply a numeric value.. // get last two digits of number $l2d = substr($price, -2, 2); // place decimal before the last two digits of the number $price = substr_replace($price, '.', -2, 2) . $l2d; I'm baffled at where to start with this..

From what I understand we can use ucfirst to convert the first letter within a string to upper case. What I would like to know is if there is a function that exists that would convert the first letter of every paragraph to upper case. For example: From: This is a paragraph. is this the car blue? let's go for a pint of beer! To: This is a paragraph. Is this the car blue? Let's go for a pint of beer! Does any such function exist?

I found a pretty cool function that allows me to ping Pingomatic for new blogs that I have. Great. Now I can automate the process instead of manually going to their website. My problem is actually simple. Sometime Pingomatic is quite busy and is unable to receive the request. I want to be able to check the status of my ping request but I don't know how to get this specific field/variable? from the result. Here is the ping script: $title = "My blog title"; $url = "http://mynewbloglink"; function pingomatic($title,$url,$debug=true) { $content='<?xml version="1.0"?>'. '<methodCall>'. ' <methodName>weblogUpdates.ping</methodName>'. ' <params>'. ' <param>'. ' <value>'.$title.'</value>'. ' </param>'. ' <param>'. ' <value>'.$url.'</value>'. ' </param>'. ' </params>'. '</methodCall>'; $headers="POST / HTTP/1.0\r\n". "User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.1) Gecko/20090624 Firefox/3.5 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729)\r\n". "Host: rpc.pingomatic.com\r\n". "Content-Type: text/xml\r\n". "Content-length: ".strlen($content); if ($debug) nl2br($headers); $request=$headers."\r\n\r\n".$content; $response = ""; $fs=fsockopen('rpc.pingomatic.com',80, $errno, $errstr); if ($fs) { fwrite ($fs, $request); while (!feof($fs)) $response .= fgets($fs); if ($debug) echo "<xmp>".$response."</xmp>"; fclose ($fs); preg_match_all("/<(name|value|boolean|string)>(.*)<\/(name|value|boolean|string)>/U",$response,$ar, PREG_PATTERN_ORDER); for($i=0;$i<count($ar[2]);$i++) $ar[2][$i]= strip_tags($ar[2][$i]); return array('status'=> ( $ar[2][1]==1 ? 'ko' : 'ok' ), 'msg'=>$ar[2][3] ); } else { if ($debug) echo "<xmp>".$errstr." (".$errno.")</xmp>"; return array('status'=>'ko', 'msg'=>$errstr." (".$errno.")"); } } pingomatic($title,$url,$debug=true); This script works and when Pingomatic 'is available' returns something to the effect of Thanks for pinging, you're blog is being forwarded...etc. etc. When Pingomatic is too busy I receive the following result: HTTP/1.1 200 OK Server: nginx Date: Mon, 30 Apr 2012 22:23:17 GMT Content-Type: text/xml;charset=utf-8 Connection: close Content-Length: 390 <?xml version="1.0"?> <methodResponse> <params> <param> <value> <struct> <member><name>flerror</name><value><boolean>1</boolean></value></member> <member><name>message</name><value><string>Pingomatic is a bit overloaded at the moment</string></value></member> </struct> </value> </param> </params> </methodResponse> What I'm trying to get in a variable is the '<member><name>message' result. In this case it's "Pingomatic is a bit overloaded at the moment". This way I can try to ping the server again later at another time knowing that the ping was not successful. What I've tried: I've attempted to see if the 'message' (Pingomatic is a bit overloaded at the moment) is in some of the variables within the original function: $pingresponse = "<xmp>".$errstr." (".$errno.")</xmp>"; $pingresponse2 = "<xmp>".$response."</xmp>"; $pingresponse3 = array('status'=> ( $ar[2][1]==1 ? 'ko' : 'ok' ), 'msg'=>$ar[2][3] ); echo "Ping Server Response : Debug: ".$debug." Errstr :".$errstr." Errno: ".$errno."Response: ".$response; But it isn't. My plan was to use strpos to search for the term "Pingomatic is a bit overloaded at the moment" in which I'll be able to know whether or not the ping was successful or not. Any ideas?

Thanks, works perfect.

Hi, I'm new to mysql and wanted to know if something like this was possible: $query = "SELECT * FROM tableX WHERE status != 'Error' AND id != (SELECT id FROM tableY) LIMIT 1"; $get_incomplete_keyword = mysql_query($query); The idea is to only select from table 'x' where the id is NOT in table 'Y'. Is this possible?

Disregard - faulty code found on my part...

I wasn't too sure if this should be in the MySQL help section so please (admin/mods) feel free to move this if you feel it's necessary. I'm attempting to connect to a URL through cURL that is being grabbed from a mysql table. The url within the table is: http://es-us.noticias.yahoo.com/ue-podr%C3%ADa-revisar-veda-crudo-ir%C3%A1n-en-pr%C3%B3ximos-124018543.html" When I plug this into firefox it works. When using it through cURL directly (see below) it works. $url = "http://es-us.noticias.yahoo.com/ue-podr%C3%ADa-revisar-veda-crudo-ir%C3%A1n-en-pr%C3%B3ximos-124018543.html"; // create a new curl resource $ch = curl_init(); // set URL to download curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url); // user agent: curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, "MozillaXYZ/1.0"); // remove header? 0 = yes, 1 = no curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0); // should curl return or print the data? true = return, false = print curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true); // timeout in seconds curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 60); // download the given URL, and return output $page = curl_exec($ch); However, when I grab the url from a table within mysql it does not work and no curl error (or any error for that matter) is returned. $get_url_links = "SELECT * FROM tabe"; $url_link = mysql_query($get_url_links); $row = mysql_fetch_array($url_link); $url = $row['link']."<br />"; I'm suspecting this is some kind of encoding issue. I've tried $url = mysql_real_escape_string($url); --- before entering it into the table $url = mysql_real_escape_string($url); --- before calling cURL mysql_query("set names 'utf8'"); --- before inserting the url into the table I've also set the column table type to 'text'. Suggestions appreciated.

Thank you. I like my way better though (just kidding).

Ha. Got it, but something tells me there's probably over a hundred better ways to get this value: foreach ($arr as $var){ foreach ($var as $vv){ foreach ($vv as $v){ foreach ($v as $i){ echo $i; } } } }

Thanks, getting somewhere: array(1) { ["data"]=> array(1) { ["translations"]=> array(1) { [0]=> array(1) { ["translatedText"]=> string(11) "Hello World" } } } } I appreciate it and I'll see if I can learn how to figure out the rest.

Thanks, this is where I'm at right now: $translate = file_get_contents("https://www.googleapis.com/language/translate/v2?key=MyKey&q=$content&source=es&target=en"); $obj = json_decode($translate); print "TEST 1".$obj->{'translatedText'}; echo "<br />"; $response = json_decode($translate); echo "TEST 2".$response->data->translations->translatedText; echo "<br />"; echo "TEST 3".$response->translatedText; echo "<br />"; $response2 = json_decode($translate, true); echo "TEST 4".$response2['translatedText']; echo "<br />"; No results returned but 'json' is working based on an example from php.net. Got a feeling I'm in the right direction?

I've signed up for Google's translating service and I'm able to get results, however, it's wrapped around some information. Here's an example: //Content to translate - Spanish for 'Hello World' $content = urlencode("Hola Mundo"); $translate = file_get_contents("https://www.googleapis.com/language/translate/v2?key=MyKey&q=$content&source=es&target=en"); echo $translate; The code returns { "data": { "translations": [ { "translatedText": "Hello World" } ] } } All I want is the result Hello World I tried using str_replace but it does not work through file_get_contents. The Google Translate does not provide any information on how to do this. Does anyone have any ideas?

I have dozens of tables that a client needs to download through the web. I can use PHP to convert the tables within the database to a CSV however I have to split the files into 10k result chunks otherwise the server gets overloaded with memory. I already raised the memory limit within the script that is downloaded (ini_set('memory_limit', '512M') which is able to make this happen. Downloading these files piece by piece is a really time consuming. Is there a memory safe and efficient way to combine all my tables as CSV's and into one zip them into one master download? PHPMyAdmin seems to do this smoothly, however, I need an online interface for the client to export the data directly...
