[PHP] need to change $ char in string
I've tried everything I can think of to change a dallar sign in a string to
something else or to split the string on the $ but I can't the the
information that comes after the $.
Typical string contains: 1.2$General/ms1.zip
when I try:
$new_string = preg_replace("/\$/", "%", $test_string);
or (trying to avoid specifying the $):
$new_string = preg_replace("/(\d\.\d{1,2})\D(\w.*$)/", "\1%\2",
$test_string);
echo "new_string is $new_string"; prints new_string is 1.2
Has anyone solved this problem?
Thanx,
Bev

Jason,
Thanx for your suggestion but I tried it and it didn't work. I'm not sure
if it matters, but this running on NT.

Try:
$new_string = preg_replace("/\\$/", "%", $test_string);

RE: [PHP] need to change $ char in string
Uli & others,
Thanx for the suggestions. This works as stated but the data already exists
in this format from an old database and I'm trying to parse it into logical
fields. Originally the data in the field looked something like
1$General/ms1.zip#12$Another/xqy.zip#. I deleted the ending # then used
explode to separate the information on the # and now I need to separate the
info before the $ from what comes after it. I've tried everyone's
suggestions but they only work if I'm testing and can define the string
using single quotes.
How can I split on a $ or change the $ to something else if I'm getting the
information from a database (MySQL), not defining it using single quotes
like in your example?

use single quotes: double quotes would confuse php with variable names.
it thinks that $General is a variable and replace it by it's empty content.
single quotes prevent php from evaluating the string:
$test_string = '1.2$General/ms1.zip';
single quotes on regex too (same reason). the backslash in this case
(\$) refers to perl regular expression syntax but does not take care of php
!
$new_string = preg_replace('/\$/', "%", $test_string);

Jason, Thank you, explode using single quotes and no backslashes works!

I think you're confused. There is nothing in MySQL which dictates strings as single-quoted or double-quoted. I think you had best post some code. Show us how you're retrieving the data from MySQL. -- Jason Wong -> Gremlins Associates -> www.gremlins.com.hk Open Source Software Systems Integrators * Web Design & Hosting * Internet & Intranet Applications Development * /* Two heads are better than one. -- John Heywood */ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

RE: [PHP] uploading a file
Balaji,
I tried to implement the code you put in this email and I'm having some
problems. I am able to browse and choose a file from my system then click
upload. The php script doesn't get the value of $path.
The site is running PHP 4.2.1 on Windows NT 5.0. I am using Internet
Explorer 6.0.26. Any suggestions on what I need to add?
Thanx,
Bev

anyone have some code they can send me that will successfully upload a
