split()

[ogo796]

Hi guys am having a problem with a split(),i retrieve line from the text file
and i wanna split that line.i manage to split two words but splitting the string
enclosed on brackets it seems to be a problem to me. can someone look at my code and please help me maybe i am missing something.

<?php

        $q=$_POST['path'];

	$jaar=$_POST['years'];
	$day=$_POST['day'];
	//echo $day."<br />";
	$month=$_POST['month'];
	//echo $month."<br />";

	$co= $_POST['coAbr'];

	$num=$_POST['Number'];
	$lineNumbers;
	$lineNumber;

	if($_POST['Number'])

	 {

	 	// open the file 

	 	$file =$q."file1.txt";

		// patterns to serch the file

		$preg = "\[$jaar\] $co  $num;";
	  	//echo"the preg is:".$preg."<br />";
		$data=stripslashes($preg);

		$lines = file($file); 

		$count;

		if ($lines)

			{

    			foreach($lines as $lineNumber) 

    			{ 

				$lineNumbers++;

        			$foundAMatch = preg_match("/$preg/i", $lineNumber, $matches, PREG_OFFSET_CAPTURE); 

        			if ($foundAMatch > 0) 

        			{ 
					

           			$found = $matches[0][0]; 

		   		$count=$lineNumber;
 				echo"The line number is : ".$lineNumber."<br />";
				echo"The court name is:".$_POST['courtAbr']."<br />";

                       		echo"Line from the Registry.<br /> ";
				$words = split(" ", $lineNumber);
				echo "File name is : ".$words[0]."<br />";
				$lenth = strlen($words[0]) ;
				$lineNumber1= substr($lineNumber , $lenth);
				echo "The Line number one is : ".$lineNumber1."<br />";
				$words4 = split(")", $lineNumber1);
				$lenth4 = strlen($words4[0]) ;
				echo "the lenth :".$lenth4."<br />";
				echo "File name is : ".$words4[0]."<br />";
						
				$lineNumber2= substr($lineNumber1 , $lenth4);
				echo "the line num :".$lineNumber2."<br >";
				$words5 = split(")", $lineNumber2);
				echo $words5[0]."<br />";		

                    	 }

		  }

	 }  
      }

ogo796, you have been warned previously about posting code without using code tags. As you have done so again, you receive you second formal warning. Carry on doing so and you will receive a ban of some kind.

My answer/suggestion is dependent on the string format being the same every time, though the length of each part can change.

<?php
	 $lcStartString = '"1980" (5 dec 1234) shadee codes (1234)' ;	
	 $lcOriginalString = $lcStartString ; // just in case you need the original
	 echo $lcStartString . '<br />' ;			 		
	 $lcFirstLine = substr($lcStartString, 0, strpos($lcStartString, '"', 3)+1) ;
	 echo $lcFirstLine . '<br />' ;			 
	 $lcStartString = str_replace($lcFirstLine, "", $lcStartString) ;
	 $lcSecondLine = substr($lcStartString, 0, strpos($lcStartString, ")") +1) ;
	 echo $lcSecondLine . '<br />' ;			 					 
	 $lcStartString = str_replace($lcSecondLine, "", $lcStartString) ;
	 $lcThirdLine = substr($lcStartString, 0, strpos($lcStartString, "(")-1);  
	 echo $lcThirdLine . '<br />' ;
	 $lcStartString = str_replace($lcThirdLine, "", $lcStartString) ; 
	 $lcFourthLine = $lcStartString ;
	 echo $lcFourthLine . '<br />' ;
?>

I hope this helps you out. it's fairly obvious what is going on here but if you get stuck or this isn't the right idea then post back - using code tags - and I'll try to help out some more.
