and seperate the hashtags and enter them into a database (database hase 3 fields for hashtags)

<?php
/** database cred **/
        define('DBHOST','localhost');
        define('DBUSERNAME','***');
        define('DBPASSWORD','**');
        define('DBNAME','roguebro_tweet');
        define('TWEETTABLE','twitter');
/** end database cred **/
        

        /** Set access tokens here - see: https://dev.twitter.com/apps/ **/
        require_once('TwitterAPIExchange.php');
        $settings = array(
        'oauth_access_token' => "831981818408677377-FexWOmvCyaZYWt3TYwmodmx3gMmFIqx",

        /** end Twitter Credentials **/
        $url = "https://api.twitter.com/1.1/statuses/user_timeline.json";

        $string = json_decode($twitter->setGetfield($getfield)
        ->buildOauth($url, $requestMethod)
        ->performRequest(),$assoc = TRUE);
        if($string["errors"][0]["message"] != "") {echo "<h3>Sorry, there was a             problem.</h3><p>Twitter returned the following error message:</p><p>     <em>".$string[errors][0]["message"]."</em></p>";exit();}
        foreach($string as $items)
        {
            echo "Tweeted by: ". $items['user']['name']."<br />";

            echo insertTweets($items['user']['name'],$items['user']['screen_name'],$items['text'],$items['created_at'],$items['id_str'],$items['user']['followers_count']);
      
$tags = $items['text']; 

$hashtags = explode("#", $tags);


 
 

        }

        function insertTweets($name,$screen_name,$text,$created_at,$id_str,$followers_count){
            $mysqli = new mysqli(DBHOST, DBUSERNAME, DBPASSWORD, DBNAME);

            $prepareStmt='INSERT INTO '.DBNAME.'.'.TWEETTABLE.' (name, screen_name, text, created_at, id_str, followers_count) VALUES (?,?,?,?,?,?);';
            if ($insert_stmt = $mysqli->prepare($prepareStmt)){
                $insert_stmt->bind_param('ssssid', $name,$screen_name,$text,$created_at,$id_str,$followers_count);
                if (!$insert_stmt->execute()) {
                    $insert_stmt->close();
                    return 'Tweet Creation cannot be done at this moment.';
                }elseif($insert_stmt->affected_rows>0){
                    $insert_stmt->close();

I'd try preg_match():

 

function insertTweets($name,$screen_name,$text,$created_at,$id_str,$followers_count){

$get_hashtags = preg_match("%#[\w_]*\s%",$text,$tags); //now $tags is an array of hashtags

//etc...

[dropfaith]

 echo insertTweets($items['user']['name'],$items['user']['screen_name'],$items['text'],$items['created_at'],$items['id_str'],$items['user']	['followers_count'],$hash);


        /** FInd hashtags build array **/    

preg_match_all("/#(\\w+)/",$items['text'],$hashtags); //now $tags is an array of hashtags



   /** FInd hashtags build array **/ 

   var_dump( $hashtags);



}


   /** Insert to database **/ 

        function insertTweets($name,$screen_name,$text,$created_at,$id_str,$followers_count,$hash){

            $mysqli = new mysqli(DBHOST, DBUSERNAME, DBPASSWORD, DBNAME);

            if ($mysqli->connect_errno) {

                return 'Failed to connect to Database: (' . $mysqli->connect_errno . ') ' . $mysqli->connect_error; 

            }

            $prepareStmt='INSERT INTO '.DBNAME.'.'.TWEETTABLE.' (name, screen_name, text, created_at, id_str, followers_count, hashtags) VALUES (?,?,?,?,?,?,?)';

            if ($insert_stmt = $mysqli->prepare($prepareStmt)){

                $insert_stmt->bind_param('sssssid', $name,$screen_name,$text,$created_at,$id_str,$followers_count,$hash);

                if (!$insert_stmt->execute()) {

                    $insert_stmt->close();

                    return 'Tweet Creation cannot be done at this moment.';

                }elseif($insert_stmt->affected_rows>0){

                    $insert_stmt->close();

                    return 'Tweet Added.<br>';

                }else{

                    $insert_stmt->close();

                    return 'No Tweet were Added.';

                }

            }else{

                return 'Prepare failed: (' . $mysqli->errno . ') ' . $mysqli->error;

            }

        }

so i have the array now but cant do anything database wise.

 

i have 4 hashtag fields and a link one  the system i need to use matches 

array(4) { [0]=> string(19) "#ContestOfChampions" [1]=> string(7) "#Cutoff" [2]=> string(9) "#Dormammu" [3]=> string(11) "#JaneFoster" }

is a sample array

 i would love it if i could somehow insert each field into its own mysql column to make my next steps easier

[dropfaith]

if it helps it inserts a 1 to mysql

Each hashtag should be in its own row in a separate table (google database normalization)
