neuroxik Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 Alright everyone, So I'm stuck on the one, especially because I've never really took the time to learn regex's correctly, but here's my problem if anyone's willing to help. 2011-03-04T18:40:12-05:00 The above line is the kind of line I want to find with preg_match(), this is what I tried (among many variations of it for the past 45 minutes) $tests['xmls_ts'] = "2011-03-04T18:40:12-05:00"; //$xmls_pattern = "/([0-9]{4})-([0-9]{2})-([0-9]{2})T([0-9]{2})[0-9]{2})\[0-9]{2})\[0-9]{2})-([0-9]{2})\[0-9]{2})/"; $xmls_pattern = "/(d{4})-(d{2})-(d{2})T(d{2}{2}{2}-d{2}{2})/"; $fd = preg_match($xmls_pattern,$tests['xmls_ts'],$matches); if($fd) { echo 'yes'; } else { echo 'no'; } Can anyone tell me where I'm going wrong?

PFMaBiSmAd Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 The d's need to be escaped so that they mean decimal digits rather than the letter d - $xmls_pattern = "/(\d{4})-(\d{2})-(\d{2})T(\d{2}:\d{2}:\d{2}-\d{2}:\d{2})/"; Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/231030-preg_match-a-specific-timestamp/#findComment-1189285 Share on other sites More sharing options...
neuroxik Posted March 18, 2011 Author Share Posted March 18, 2011 Wow, it's works... thanks so much! The d's need to be escaped so that they mean decimal digits rather than the letter d - $xmls_pattern = "/(\d{4})-(\d{2})-(\d{2})T(\d{2}:\d{2}:\d{2}-\d{2}:\d{2})/"; Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/231030-preg_match-a-specific-timestamp/#findComment-1189287 Share on other sites More sharing options...
