missing values?

[Alicia]

Hi,

 

Can some guru please advise how should I go about to fix these issues :

- AABC & AAAB are not displaying the results that supposed to be there. Can you please give me an idea what I suppose to edit so all all numbers will be displayed. Thank you

 

<?php
$patterns = array('AAAA', 'AAAB', 'AABB', 'AABC', 'ABCD');
for ($i = 0; $i < count($patterns); $i++) {
    echo 'Numbers matching the pattern "'.$patterns[$i].'":<br>';
    $count = processPattern('', $patterns[$i]);
    $total[$i] = $count;
    echo '<br>';
}

function processPattern($replace, $remaining) {
    if ($remaining == '') {
        echo $replace.'<br>';

        return 1;
    }
    $char = preg_replace('/([a-zA-Z]).*/', '$1', $remaining);
    $toReplace = preg_replace('/('.$char.'*).*/', '$1', $remaining);
    $remaining = preg_replace('/'.$toReplace.'(.*)/', '$1', $remaining);
    $start = ($replace > '') ? intval(substr($replace, -1, 1)) + 1 : 0;
    $count = 0;
for($i = $start; $i <= 9; $i++) {
        $count += processPattern($replace.str_repeat($i, strlen($toReplace)), $remaining);
    }
    return $count;
}

echo 'Totals for each pattern<br>';
$totalCount = 0;
for ($i = 0; $i < count($patterns); $i++) {
    echo $patterns[$i] . ': ' . $total[$i] . '<br>';
    $totalCount += $total[$i];
}
echo '<br>';
echo 'All found in total: ' . $totalCount;
?>
