For right or wrong, I've been using XML to define my Doctrine entities. When the XML changes, my entities need to change. I've automated the process with a simple PHP script which allows me to swap some text to modify one of the auto-generated methods, add methods, etc. Kind of clunky but it works well enough. Now, I recently had the need to remove a given method in its entirety from a given class. I "could" just add the entire string which represents the method name, earlier comments, and script for the method to my parsing script to my parsing script and remove it, but would like to be a little more concise. For instance, say I have $script as follows: $script = <<<'EOT' class SomeEntityClass { //... more stuff above public function getSomething() { return $this->something; } /** * Get foos. * * @return \Doctrine\Common\Collections\Collection */ public function getFoos() { return $this->foos; } /** * Get somethingElse. * */ //... more stuff below } EOT; How would you recommend creating the function: removeFunction($script, 'getFoos') which would remove the given function along with its comments from the $script string and result with? $script = <<<'EOT' class SomeEntityClass { //... more stuff above public function getSomething() { return $this->something; } /** * Get somethingElse. * */ //... more stuff below } EOT; Assuming regex is the way to go, I was thinking of something like the following, but could use some help with the regex expression. function removeFunction($script, $method) { $method="public function $method("; //regex to remove script with which starts after pattern "{\n" OR "**/", contains $method, and is located before pattern "\n{" OR "\n /**" return $script; } Thanks

I am using AJAX to send an array of values to a PHP page that will insert the data into MySQL database. For some reason only the last 5 values are inserted into the MySQL database and I am woundering how to fix that. I am using foreach loop. AJAX Request: Array: [".testimonial", 1119, 316, 1663, 608, "#header", 723, 66, 1663, 608] Posting the array: Sending Array Parameters using " ; " to split. clicks .testimonial;1119;316;1663;608;#header;723;66;1663;608 Source Sent: clicks=.testimonial%3B1119%3B316%3B1663%3B608%3B%23header%3B723%3B66%3B1663%3B608 PHP Page <?php $clicks = $_GET["clicks"]; $clickArray = explode(";",$clicks); $arrays = array_chunk($clickArray, 5); $servername = "localhost"; $username = "root"; $password = "password"; $dbname = "clickmap"; // Create connection $conn = new mysqli($servername, $username, $password, $dbname); // Check connection if ($conn->connect_error) { die("Connection failed: " . $conn->connect_error); } $keys = array('postIdentifier', 'postPos_x', 'postPos_y','postWindowWidth','postWindowHeight'); foreach ($arrays as $array_num => $array) { $values = array(); foreach ($array as $item_num => $item) { $values[] = $item; } $data = array_combine($keys, $values); extract($data); // now your variables are declared with the right values http://php.net/manual/en/function.extract.php $sql = "INSERT INTO data (user_id, identifier_name, pos_x, pos_y, window_width, window_height, status) VALUES ('1', '$postIdentifier', '$postPos_x', '$postPos_y','$postWindowWidth','$postWindowHeight', 'ok')"; } if ($conn->query($sql) === TRUE) { echo "New record created successfully"; } else { echo "Error: " . $sql . "<br>" . $conn->error; } $conn->close(); ?> Is this the correct way of coding it, and why does it post only the last 5 values? Any help would be much appreciated!

i need to change the color of a word in a string where the word is unknown (from $_POST) and may have one or more uppercase chars. code please.

Hey friends, I just started learning php. I want to know the difference between == and === I exactly want to know the comment section of the given code below. Thanks. <?php $mystring = 'abc'; $findme = 'a'; $pos = strpos($mystring, $findme); // The !== operator can also be used. Using != would not work as expected // because the position of 'a' is 0. The statement (0 != false) evaluates // to false. if ($pos !== false) { echo "The string '$findme' was found in the string '$mystring'"; echo " and exists at position $pos"; } else { echo "The string '$findme' was not found in the string '$mystring'"; } ?>

Say I have a form field where I input any text(numbers,text,symbols, or mixed). I want to encrypt that input into 16 characters long encryption string that includes at least one uppercase letter, one lowercase letter, one number and one special character? How can that be done? Also I want to decrypt it back to original input as well. Can that be one?

Hello. Just a quick question about using a loop to create a string from post variables that will then be used in a query. I have several post variables submitted in a form, some of which contain a value of T. Others are not selected. In the database there are several columns which may contain values of T or may not. I would like to construct a query that searches for specific columns containing T and ignoring the rest. I'm using WHERE "T" IN(colnames). I need to get the column names into a comma separated string. Here's what I'm using: $postVal = array("1", "2", "3", "4", "5"); foreach ($postVal as $key=>$val){ $newVar = “col”.$val; if ($$newVar == "T") { *create/add to comma-separated string } else { *ignore } } I hope that seems clear enough. I'm just not sure if I'm on the right track or not. What do you think? Thank you, in advance!

I have a string e.g. products.0.name and I want to change the string to; products[0][name] I have come up with some code that works but is a bit of a hack, my code is below; var array = field.split("."); field = array[0]+'['+array[1]+']['+array[2]+']'; Is there a better way, I am sure there is using regex? Thanks

Hello guys! For every word in a sentence or phrase how do i make the first letter for each word a capital letter. Expecting your response Thanks guys!

I have a DB of data: article-id, section-id, subsection-id, article-text. When a row is fetched I am displaying article, section, subsection as <h3>, <h4>, <h5> and then text in a <p>. Before outputting the text I want to scan it for other articles, sections, or subsections it may reference then turn that reference into a hyperlink. I read the PHP documentation but I can't find anything that translates to the basic commands of instring, indexof, and left/mid/right. Example: 1. Article Name 100. Article 1, section 1 100.a article 1, section 1, subsection a Text blah blah blah 105.f blah blah blah I want to find that 105.f and turn it into a link. All my articles, sections, and subsections are in the DB so I know I can use an array of the number values as my items to look for, but I can't figure out how to look.
