Eiolon Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 What do you mean, identifies? It looks like you have all the information to begin with if you are inputting it...

jnvnsn Posted July 20, 2011 Author Share Posted July 20, 2011 in one field the user inputs: Hilton Newark Penn Station Fl 1, 1 Gateway Ctr, Newark, NJ (973) 622-5000 [email protected] then the program should be the one to identify which is an address, phone and email.

Eiolon Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 Oh, I see. You may need to standardize the way the data is stored first by using comma-delimited fields. Look up CSV. Then when you know where the commas are, you can identify which ones are address, phone, e-mail, etc. Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/242437-identifies-phone-email-address-when-inputted/#findComment-1245184 Share on other sites More sharing options...
jnvnsn Posted July 20, 2011 Author Share Posted July 20, 2011 What if there are no commas? for example the user is too lazy to put a comma on. can you suggest anything?

Eiolon Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 Sorry, without some identifying factor or standardization, I don't know how the system would be able to tell what is what. As you said, the user could be too lazy to put something like ( ) around the area code, which could have been an identifying marker for the phone number. The @ symbol could be used to identify the e-mail address, which is the only thing gauranteed to be added, but it won't help with a street address or phone number. EDIT: I guess if they are gauranteed to use line breaks for each piece of data that could do it.

jnvnsn Posted July 20, 2011 Author Share Posted July 20, 2011 :)That's what i thought. How about this is there anyway i can print the rest of this string if i already match the email?

TeNDoLLA Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 Why do not you just create different input fields for every different input value?
