reading in and stopping

[desmondMorris]

hi

 

i am using the following code:

 

if(preg_match_all('%read (?P<words>\w+)%i', $text, $out)) {...

 

i want to be able to print whatever is written aftet the word 'read' is used, this is working fine so far, however currently only the first word after 'read' is being printed. i want to be able to print the whole line, up until a ';' is seen.

 

does anyone have any ideas on this?

 

cheers in advance

Can you give us an example line that will be read? your regex looks a little off

text is input into a form, when its submitted, wherever the word 'read' is found, the next word is printed. it works fine. this is the full code ive got:

 

<?php

if(isset($_POST['submit'])){

 

$text = $_POST['txt'];

if(preg_match_all('%read (?P<words>\w+)%i', $text, $out)) {

 

    $words = $out['words'];

}

//echo '<pre>'.print_r(get_defined_vars(), true).'</pre>';

if(isset($words)) {

 

$arrayAmount = count($words);

 

      for ($i=0;$i<=$arrayAmount;$i++){

      echo "$words[$i]\n";     

      }

}

 

 

}

?>

also how would i make it so words in double quotes are also printed, they seem to get skipped.

 

cheers
