Simple string task ?! :) - El Forum - 05-12-2012
[eluser]ven_dev[/eluser]
I almost finished my first CI website,however I have a little problem now.
On my local pc my php version is 5.3 but on the server its 5.2.*
In my core I use strstr() function with the third parrameter bool.(not supported in <5.3)
What I need to do is:
$string = 'some different string every time where my need is missing in this strange string';
$before = 'string';
$after = 'missing';
And what I need to get is the code between 'string' and 'missing'.
And the final need is 'every time where my need is';
The words string and missing are always there,only the answer is different everytime.
I hope I explained it good.
Please help me you good coders

Hi there,
Although that is not a CI specific question, I'll keep the collaborative spirit of CI's community.
This might serve you as a guide:
Code:
/* @var $lsSubject string */
$lsSubject = 'some different string every time where my need is missing in this strange string';
/* @var $lsLftLimit string */
$lsLftLimit = 'string';
/* @var $lsRgtLimit string */
$lsRgtLimit = 'missing';
/* @var $lsPattern string */
$lsPattern = '/'.$lsLftLimit .' (.*) '. $lsRgtLimit.'/';
if(@preg_match($lsPattern, $lsSubject,$laMatches) == 0)
{
// Pattern not found... do whatever you want here
}
else {
print_r($laMatches);
}
// Output:
// Array
// (
// [0] => string every time where my need is missing
// [1] => every time where my need is
// )
// The second element of the $laMatches array should have your desired result.Simple string task ?! :) - El Forum - 05-12-2012
