Character match, text change and space removal HELP!.

[jamesxg1]

Hiya peeps,

 

This is something very complicated and I'm in need of some help I need to do the following.

 

EXAMPLE TEXT = 'hiya, Bye for now';

 

How do I do the following?

 

1) Add a ' . ' dot at the end, remove any space from the end.

2) recognise the comma and change 'Bye for now' into 'bye for now'.

 

Many thanks

 

James.

Sorry for another post, basically I'm trying to grammatically fix a string of text.

 

Many thanks

This should get you on your way:

 

$string = "hiya, Bye for now";
$string = ucfirst(strtolower($string)); // Make it all lowercase then format the first word uppercase.
$string = trim($string); // Remove whitespace.
if(substr($string, -1) !== ".") $string .= "."; // Add a full stop if it doesn't already have one.
echo $string; // Should produce: Hiya, bye for now.

$str=str_replace(",","",$str); //replace comma with nothing

Thats stunning thanks guys, I've got another lil issue so to save opening another thread, I will post here.

 

                        $input= 'hiya, how are you?';
                        $match = array('how are you');
		$output = array();

		foreach($match as $sentence_split):
			$sentence_split_slash = '/' . $sentence_split . '/';
			if(preg_match($sentence_split_slash, $input)):
				$output[] = $sentence_split;
			else:
				$this->conversate_word($sentence_split);
			endif;
		endforeach;

 

how do I make it so that the 'hiya' is actually sent to $this->conversate_word();

 

 

Many thanks

 

James.
