For Each Help?

[daneilair]

Okay I'm making a blog-type-thing and I have a script to replace

[video title="thing"][/video]

with and embed code and it works great but the problem is when there are multiple occurrences of it then it doesn't work. Heres the script I have to do the replacing:

 

$article = $row['post'];
$matches = array();
preg_match('/\[video title="([^"]*)"\]\[\/video\]/', $article, $matches);
if(!empty($matches)) {
$vtitle = $matches[1];
$vtitleclean = str_replace(" ", "_", $vtitle);

$vfultitle = $vtitleclean . md5($vtitleclean) . ".flv";

$old = "[video title=\"" . $vtitle . "\"][/video]";
$new = "<object classid=\"clsid:F08DF954-8592-11D1-B16A-00C0F0283628\" id=\"PlayerObj\" width=\"400\" height=\"468\">
		<param name=\"quality\" value=\"high\">
		<param name=\"bgcolor\" value=\"#000000\">
		<param name=\"flashvars\" value=\"sv=" . $vfultitle . "&skin=incs/video player/SkinOverPlaySeekMute.swf&width=468&height=400\">
		<param name=\"width\" value=\"468\">
		<param name=\"height\" value=\"400\">
		<param name=\"scale\" value=\"noscale\">
		<param name=\"salign\" value=\"tl\">
		<param name=\"name\" value=\"Player\">
		<param name=\"type\" value=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\">
		<param name=\"pluginspage\" value=\"http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer\">
		<embed src=\"incs/video/player.swf\" quality=\"high\" bgcolor=\"#000000\" flashvars=\"sv=videos/" . $vfultitle . "&skin=incs/video/SkinOverPlaySeekMute.swf&width=468&height=400\" width=\"468\" height=\"400\" scale=\"noscale\" salign=\"tl\" name=\"Player\" type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\"pluginspage=\"http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer\"> </embed>
	</object>";
$blog_post = str_replace($old, $new, $blog_post);
}

 

but when there there are more than one things to replace only the first one works. I'm assuming I'd use the "foreach() function but I don't know what to do. If anyone could help me out then that would be great.

 

Thanks,

Daniel

You'll want to use preg_match_all.

You'll want to use preg_match_all.

 

When I try this it doesn't show anything even thought it should show 2 movies... Instead I get the error:

Warning: md5() expects parameter 1 to be string, array given in D:\www\projects\Websites\site\pages\blog.php on line 66

Where is the md5() function called? Post the relevant code.

[daneilair]

			$article = $row['post']; /*Would be [video title="video1"][/video] [video title="video2"][/video]*/
		$matches = array();
		preg_match_all('/\[video title="([^"]*)"\]\[\/video\]/', $article, $matches);
		if(!empty($matches)) {
			$vtitle = $matches[1];
			$vtitleclean = str_replace(" ", "_", $vtitle);

			$vfultitle = $vtitleclean . md5($vtitleclean) . ".flv"; //<--------HERE

			$old = "[video title=\"" . $vtitle . "\"][/video]";
			$new = "<object classid=\"clsid:F08DF954-8592-11D1-B16A-00C0F0283628\" id=\"PlayerObj\" width=\"400\" height=\"468\">

Its telling you that $matches[1] is an array and not a string.

I would suggest print_r($matches) and look at your array structure.

[daneilair]

This is what I got

Array ( [0] => Array ( [0] => [video title="video1"][/video] [1] => [video title="video2"][/video] ) [1] => Array ( [0] => video1 [1] => video2 ) ) 

 

So it was an array but how would I break it down?

$article = $row['post'];
$matches = array();
preg_match_all('/\[video title="([^"]*)"\]\[\/video\]/', $article, $matches);

if(!empty($matches)) {

foreach($matches[1] as $vtitle) {

	$vtitleclean = str_replace(" ", "_", $vtitle);

	$vfultitle = $vtitleclean . md5($vtitleclean) . ".flv";

	$old = "[video title=\"" . $vtitle . "\"][/video]";
	$new = "<object classid=\"clsid:F08DF954-8592-11D1-B16A-00C0F0283628\" id=\"PlayerObj\" width=\"400\" height=\"468\">
			<param name=\"quality\" value=\"high\">
			<param name=\"bgcolor\" value=\"#000000\">
			<param name=\"flashvars\" value=\"sv=" . $vfultitle . "&skin=incs/video player/SkinOverPlaySeekMute.swf&width=468&height=400\">

			<param name=\"scale\" value=\"noscale\">

		</object>";
	$blog_post = str_replace($old, $new, $blog_post);
}
}

 

 

That should work, assuming $blog_post is set somewhere above the code posted?

 

//EDIT : Formatting F***ed up

[daneilair]

$article = $row['post'];
$matches = array();
preg_match_all('/\[video title="([^"]*)"\]\[\/video\]/', $article, $matches);

if(!empty($matches)) {

foreach($matches[1] as $vtitle) {

	$vtitleclean = str_replace(" ", "_", $vtitle);

}

//EDIT : Formatting F***ed up

 

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach()

So I'm assuming that you can't use $matches[1] but what else is there?

 

[daneilair]

Okay I finally got it! Heres he code I used.

			$article = $row['post'];
		$matches = array();
		preg_match_all('/\[video title="([^"]*)"\]\[\/video\]/', $article, $matches);

		if(!empty($matches)) {
			for($i = 0; $i < count($matches[1]); $i++) {
				$vtitle = $matches[1][$i];
				$vtitleclean = str_replace(" ", "_", $vtitle);
				$vfultitle = $vtitleclean . md5($vtitleclean) . ".flv";

				$old = "[video title=\"" . $vtitle . "\"][/video]";
				$new = "<object classid=\"clsid:F08DF954-8592-11D1-B16A-00C0F0283628\" id=\"PlayerObj\" width=\"400\" height=\"468\">
					<param name=\"quality\" value=\"high\">
					<param name=\"bgcolor\" value=\"#000000\">
					<param name=\"flashvars\" value=\"sv=" . $vfultitle . "&skin=incs/video player/SkinOverPlaySeekMute.swf&width=468&height=400\">

					<param name=\"pluginspage\" value=\"http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer\">

"&skin=incs/video/SkinOverPlaySeekMute.swf&width=468&height=400\" width=\"468\" height=\"400\" scale=\"noscale\" salign=\"tl\" name=\"Player\" type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\"pluginspage=\"http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer\"> </embed>
				</object>";
				$blog_post = str_replace($old, $new, $blog_post);
			}
		}

 

Thanks for the help guys!
