[SOLVED] Cleaning up

[Kingy]

I've made the roomlist for my server but as you can see the topics look pretty out of it with all the colour codes and what not. Is there a code that can clean it up a little.

Your going to have to explain exactly what you want cleaned up. I'm not sure if what your asking has anything to do with PHP, but from the sound of things it seems like it should be in the HTML or CSS section.

you mean all the non utf-8 characters?

[Kingy]

Well obviously you can see

 

,12|12,6|13,6|6,13|4,13|13,4|7,4|4,7|8,7|7,8|9,8|8,9|10,9|9,10|12,10|10,12|16,12 0,

 

etc etc throughout all the topics and little random ? marks. They are all irc colours etc so is there neway to get rid of them.

 

So instead of having

 

6,12|12,6|13,6|6,13|4,13|13,4|7,4|4,7|8,7|7,8|9,8|8,9|10,9|9,10|12,10|10,12|16,12 0,4 Welcome To YAHTZEE Type !Help For More Info AND HAVE A GAME!! 10,12|12,10|9,10|10,9|8,9|9,8|7,8|8,7|4,7|7,4|13,4|4,13|6,13|13,6|

 

I would just have

 

Welcome to YAHTZEE Type !Help For More Info AND HAVE A GAME

[cooldude832]

use regex and only take:

Any letter Uppercase or Lower Case

Any Number

`~!@#$%^&*())_<>,.?

 

and then do a regex replace of all things that are not the above pattern with nothing and it should help (make sure you are inclusive on spaces), odds are you can find the pattern online somewhere

 

[Kingy]

ok ive never really used regex before. would you or anybody be able to give me either a code for doing the above or just a small code to help me on my way?

[teng84]

$string = 'Welcome To YAHTZEE Type !Help For More Info AND HAVE A GAME!! 10,12|12,10|9,10|10,9|8,9|9,8|7,8|8,7|4,7|7,4|13,4|4,13|6,13|13,6|';

echo preg_replace('([^A-Za-z0-9-,|]+)','',$string);

 

 

try...

[Kingy]

ok Cleans it up in a limited way

thats what it looks like now

[cooldude832]

I think you might want to inclulde any legit special charcter like !@#$%^&*()-_+=|\}{[]?><,./  also as it is legit to use said characters, use a pattern more inclusive
