replace numbers

[golles]

Hey, I have a (generated) table with some numbers I'd like to change to their name (database)

 

the number is in this format:

<td>/978100/</td>

or

<td>/841110/841115/</td>

 

I think it could be done with preg_match_all, but I have no clue how where to search on

 

$search = "???";

preg_match_all($search, $table, $matches);

foreach ($matches as $m){
//replace the matches with their names here
}

 

Or is this really stupid?

 

Thanks in advance!

It's really stupid.

It's really stupid.

Okee, how would you do it?

[Ken2k7]

Not sure. I have no idea why you're doing it that way and what you're trying to accomplish.

I want to replace the numbers with their name from the database.

Why replace them? You can't just display the names?

No the table is not generated by me. its from an application.

 

This did allmost the trick: it only not does the ones like /841110/841115/

$search = "'/([^<]*)/'s";

result:

Array ( [0] => 942480 [1] => 941750 [2] => 945955 [3] => 941230 [4] => 978100 [5] => 975600 [6] => 824110 [7] => 841290/842030 
[8] => 841010 [9] => 841110/841115 ) 

 

how could the $search do them all?

[cags]

It's because the pattern is by default greedy, there are a couple of solutions, but the simplest one is probably to just add a forward slash to the negated character class...

 

$search = "'/([^</]*)/'s";

[golles]

that gave the same result

 

this is the complete table btw

There are 10 numbers of the format that you are looking for in the HTML from the last post, your previous post showed 10 matched numbers. What's the problem?

 

Edit: If you're looking to match 12345/67890 as two numbers, then you could do something like the following.

 

$search = '~(?<=/)\d+(?=/)~'

 

This uses a lookbehind* and lookahead* to search for numbers surrounded by forward slashes.

 

* More info: lookaround

I would like to get those as 2 different

 

[7] => 841290/842030
841110/841115

 

if those are done too, then I can continue on my own again.
