[srinivas6203]

Hi all

 

I have some bunch of data like this.

 

askdhasdkf[sld[askfsdjflasjdajjdljkd;askd;ad[addjljdlaldajdjad "[email protected]" sajdkasjdlsjd dsakdhal sjdlasjdksajdjsapj kdpsoakdpoa skdklasdsa daddasd dadsadj asjdoijdo; iqwueiqe pqjlnd sandsahdsj dghkjshd kadsadsakhdkjsahdkjd.

 

In the above paragraph there is a email id "[email protected]". I want to get that email id. I am not using database.

 

Is there any possibility to get that email id from that paragraph using php.

 

Kindly tell me ASAP. Its urgent.

 

Thanq

yeah i think its possible but you will need to use regex to achieve it

// $string is your sentence containing an email address

preg_match('/\\b([a-zA-Z0-9._%-]+@(?:[a-zA-Z0-9-]+\\.)+[a-zA-Z]{2,4})\\b/', $string, $matches);
print_r($matches);

hi neil.johnson

 

How can i compare this and how can i get email. can u tell me the code.

Not sure what you mean compare. If you paragraph is contained in the variable $string then run it through the preg match function as per the code example.

Working code:

 

$string = "askdhasdkf[sld[askfsdjflasjdajjdljkd;askd;ad[addjljdlaldajdjad \"[email protected]\" sajdkasjdlsjd dsakdhal sjdlasjdksajdjsapj kdpsoakdpoa skdklasdsa daddasd dadsadj asjdoijdo; iqwueiqe pqjlnd sandsahdsj dghkjshd kadsadsakhdkjsahdkjd.";
if(preg_match('/\\b([a-zA-Z0-9._%-]+@(?:[a-zA-Z0-9-]+\\.)+[a-zA-Z]{2,4})\\b/', $string, $matches)) {
	print "I have found the email address: ".$matches[0];
}
