Adding parts of a String to an Array.

[Fabis94]

I have this long code put in a string (i used file_get_contents to get it from another page):

 

223869,1550,30492847 432402,76,1409849 369422,75,1245567 501886,79,1947581 436335,79,1910533 359856,75,1250659 413704,55,177302 396838,73,1078967 690109,67,551412 6972,99,15319606 242629,81,2315289 785464,64,435123 287781,68,611815 349404,61,318931 786534,52,132517 1139395,60,274476 320949,48,86768 182000,61,305119 264238,56,199676 330524,56,188663 205315,50,102585 232534,53,147552 289503,56,185844 131858,57,205193 180331,49,91820 -1,-1 -1,-1 -1,-1 422632,500

 

And i need to put each of the parts that parts are divided by commas (1st: 223869, 2nd: 1550 etc.) in an array variable (for example, array[0] is the first part, array[1] is the second one).

 

How do i do this? Im only a PHP beginner at the moment  ???

Use explode

 

$contents = file_get_contents('your-file-with-codes.txt');

$codes = explode(',', $contents);

[Fabis94]

So $codes will become an array and when i write (for example) $codes[1] it will return the first part?

[jackpf]

Arrays start at 0.

 

$codes[0] will give you the first part...

[Fabis94]

Is there a way to make explode divide parts by commas OR empty spaces? In the long code there are parts like:

 

223869,1550,30492847 432402

 

And after 30492847 is a space not a comma, but those 2 numbers need to be divided too.

 

I was thinking that before i use explode on the $contents array, i replace the spaces with a comma.

Is there a function in PHP that changes a character to something else?

str_replace or preg_replace

 

I personally prefer preg_replace 

[wildteen88]

Use

$contents = file_get_contents('your-file-with-codes.txt');

$codes = explode(',', str_replace(' ', ',', $contents));

[Fabis94]

Weird, it still doesn't remove the spaces. Anyway heres an example from where im taking the code:

 

http://hiscore.runescape.com/index_lite.ws?player=Destructo14

 

I checked it source and it looks like after a part of the code ENTER is pressed and it goes to a new line (it only shows like that in the source so he didn't use <br> or <p></p>

 

What should i do to remove the places where ENTER was pressed/spaces (?)

[Fabis94]

nevermind instead of a Space i used chr(10) (/n) and then it worked.

EDIT: Sorry i couldn't edit the last post.

[jackpf]

If you just use (\s) in preg_replace it'll replace all white space.

 

That's why I prefer it
