[SOLVED] help adding 

[dlf1987]

I have a database that lists out different dimensions of the products i sell, and i need to turn this...

 

24 15/16 x 20 1/2 x 39

 

into this...

 

24 ^15/16 x 20 ^1/2 x 39

 

using php...

 

So another words i need to put <sup> around the fraction in each dimensions.

$string = "24" . "<sup>" . "15/16" . "</sup>" . " x 20" . "<sup>" . "1/2" . "</sup>" . " x 39";

More of your code would be helpful, to determine the variables you would replace each of your example values with.

Hows about:

 

<?php
$str = '24 15/16 x 20 1/2 x 39';
$str = preg_replace('|([0-9]+/[0-9]+)|','<sup>$1</sup>',$str);
echo $str;
?>

 

That will replace any measurements given as a fraction with the same fraction in superscript

<?php
$str = '24 15/16 x 20 1/2 x 39';
$str = preg_replace('|([0-9]+/[0-9]+)|','<sup>$1</sup>',$str);
echo $str;
?>

Sweet that worked perfectly.

 

Oops forgot... Is there a way to remove the space between the fraction and the number before it?

Before he replies with some regex, I'm going to quickly say trim();

[Daukan]

Here is a non regex way

<?php
$parts = explode(' ', '24 15/16 x 20 1/2 x 39');
$res  = '';
foreach($parts as $k=>$v) {
    if(strstr($v, '/') )
        $res .= ' <sup>'.$v.'</sup> ';
    else
        $res .= $v.' ';
}

echo $res;
?>

i just want to remove the space between the fraction and the number before it.

 

Like this...

 

24^15/16 x 20^1/2 x 39

$str = preg_replace('|([0-9]+/[0-9]+)|','<sup>$1</sup>',$str);
$array = explode(" </sup>", $str);
$x = 0;
$y = 0;
$str = "";
while ($x <= sizeof($array))
	{
		$array2 = explode(" ", $array[$x]);
		while ($y <= sizeof($array2))
			{
				if ($array2[$y] == "x")
					$str .= " " . $array2[$y] . " " ;
				else
					$str .= $array2[$y];

				$y++;			
			}
		$x++;		
	}

echo $str;
?>

Sure, its a little long. But it does the job.

 

Edit: Something obscure about the first array. Didn't notice when I tested it, but now I can really see. Hmm.. I'll fix it. No wonder it was so long.

This seems an awful lot more simple to me:

 

<?php
$str = '24 15/16 x 20 1/2 x 39';
$str = preg_replace('|([0-9]+) ([0-9]+/[0-9]+)|','$1<sup>$2</sup>',$str);
echo $str;
?>

echo $str;
?>

I WILL figure out what was wrong with my initial array. Don't close it yet.. please..

Nice short answer though. Extremely simple. =3

 

HAR HAR!

 

<?php
$str = '24 15/16 x 20 1/2 x 39';
$str = preg_replace('|([0-9]+/[0-9]+)|','<sup>$1</sup>',$str);
$x = 0;
$array = explode(" ", $str);
$str = "";
while ($x <= sizeof($array))
	{
		if ($array[$x] == "x")
			$str .= " " . $array[$x] . " " ;
		else
			$str .= $array[$x];
		$x++;			
	}
echo $str;
?>

Thanks guys for all you help!

Thanks guys for all you help!

No problem. I personally enjoyed competing with the regex guy. *cough*.

Sure, I used his regex initially.. but.. *GAH*. I feel so cheated. *writes new script*

Not the most dynamic way, but it doesn't use regex

 

<?php
$math = "24 15/16 x 20 1/2 x 39";

list($f, $s, $t, $fo, $fi, $si, $se) = explode(" ",$math);

echo $f .' <sup>'.$s.'</sup> '.$t.' '.$fo.' <sup>'.$fi.'</sup> '.$si.' '.$se;
?>

Okay, I hate you.
