[chanchelkumar]

Hi Friends,

 

$check="front street Unique historical building Office Space - 1925 square foot + Call xxx-xxx-xxxx (18 Nov 2007) (xxx) xxxxxxx, - City  Province Neighborhood Distance ";

 

i want to get the city name to a variable, i tried it with

 

explode("-",$check);

but it give me the phone numer value as return....

 

Am having

$phoneno:(xxx) xxxxxxx;

 

i tried to strip with this...

stristr($check,$phoneno);

but returms me null

 

Is there any function to cut the last five words (not letter),

 

Please help me....

you can try this for the

 

<?php

$check="front street Unique historical building Office Space - 1925 square foot + Call xxx-xxx-xxxx (18 Nov 2007) (xxx) xxxxxxx, - City  Province Neighborhood Distance ";


preg_match("/[\ ]+([\w\d]+)[\ ]+([\w\d]+)[\ ]+([\w\d]+)[\ ]+([\w\d]+)\ $/i",$check,$arrMatches);

print_r($arrMatches);
?>

But rajiv ....

 

I tried it with the example you provide...

 

It works perfect...

 

But my problem is my data ie $check is coming from database dynamically....

 

the format is same in last four cases...(City  Province Neighborhood Distance),

 

The format before that may differ...

 

Sometimes that "-" replaces "$123" or "$123/month"...

 

is there any idea for get that last four words...

 

 

 

 

 

[rajivgonsalves]

you can with a strong regular expression similar to the one I provided if you can identify the different formats .

[chanchelkumar]

Am not used with regular expression, please let me know where i can find such a thing??

Please help me....

Ok try this

 

<?php

$check="front street Unique historical building Office Space - 1925 square foot + Call xxx-xxx-xxxx (18 Nov 2007) (xxx) xxxxxxx, - City  Province Neighborhood Distance ";


preg_match("/\)([^,]+)\,[\ \-]+([\w\d]+)[\ ]+([\w\d]+)[\ ]+([\w\d]+)[\ ]+([\w\d]+)\ $/i",$check,$arrMatches);

print_r($arrMatches);
?>

Rajiv,

 

Thanks...

 

The new code is also working....

i want to cut the data in to two...

Say  the (City  Province Neighborhood Distance) in to a string ...

 

This will always come at the end... is any method for that?

 

this will come after..("-" or  "$123" or "$123/month")..

 

I tried with explode ("-",$check)... But not working properly..

 

[rajivgonsalves]

oh  I got it for the dash

 

try

 

$arrParts = preg_split("/\,[\ ]+\-/",$check);

print_r($arrParts);

[chanchelkumar]

Thanks Rajiv...

 

Little more help please...

 

Now it's ok for dash("-")...

 

How we can get it for ("$950 /") and ("$950 /month") ... 950 is any numerical value...

 

thanks for your help...

[rajivgonsalves]

can you give me an example of the string with the $950 so I can test ?

[chanchelkumar]

$arrParts = preg_split("/\,[\ ]+\-/",$full_descript);
$newck=$arrParts[1];
$newcheck=$arrParts[0]."</br>";
if ($newck!="")
{
$new_loc_final=$newck;
}
elseif ($newck=="")
{
$loca_new=explode("/ month",$newcheck);
echo "</br>"."newlocation::  ".$loca_new[1];
$new_loc_final=$loca_new[1];

if ($loca_new[1]=="")
{
$loca_freshnew=explode("/ ",$newcheck);
echo "</br>"."newlocationfresh::  ".$loca_freshnew[1];
$new_loc_final=$loca_freshnew[1];
}
}
$vowels = array("0", "1", "2", "3", "4", "5", "6", "7", "8", "9", "month","Month","MONTH");
$location_final= str_replace($vowels, "",$new_loc_final);
echo "</br>"."FINAL LOCATION :".$location_final."</br>"; 

 

Thanks Rajiv...
