CLX. Funkce pro práci s řetězci

Úvod

Všechny tyto funkce různými způsoby pracují s řetězci. Některé specializovanější funkce najdete v sekcích regulárních výrazů a obsluha URL.

Informace o chování řetězců, zvláště v souvislosti s použitím jednoduchých uvozovek, dvojitých uvozovek a znaků opatřených zpětnými lomítky, viz položky Řetězce v sekci Typy tohoto manuálu.

Požadavky

Tyto funkce jsou k dispozici jako součást standardního modulu, který je vždy dostupný.

Instalace

K používání těchto funkcí není třeba žádná instalace, jsou součástí jádra PHP.

Předdefinované konstanty

Tyto konstanty jsou definovány tímto rozšířením a budou k dispozici pouze tehdy, bylo-li rozšíření zkompilováno společně s PHP nebo dynamicky zavedeno za běhu.

CRYPT_SALT_LENGTH integer
CRYPT_STD_DES integer
CRYPT_EXT_DES integer
CRYPT_MD5 integer
CRYPT_BLOWFISH integer
HTML_SPECIALCHARS (integer)
HTML_ENTITIES (integer)
ENT_COMPAT (integer)
ENT_QUOTES (integer)
ENT_NOQUOTES (integer)
CHAR_MAX (integer)
LC_CTYPE (integer)
LC_NUMERIC (integer)
LC_TIME (integer)
LC_COLLATE (integer)
LC_MONETARY (integer)
LC_ALL (integer)
LC_MESSAGES (integer)
STR_PAD_LEFT (integer)
STR_PAD_RIGHT (integer)
STR_PAD_BOTH (integer)

In reference to Moe... best random string function
<?php
function random_string($l = 10){
   
$c = "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxwz0123456789";
    for(;
$l > 0;$l--) $s .= $c{rand(0,strlen($c))};
    return

If you want to indent a block of text with $level tabs, you can use

function str_indent($level, $text) {
    return str_repeat("\t", $level).str_replace("\n", "\n".str_repeat("\t", $level), $text);
}

Just a note in regards to bloopletech a few posts down:

The word "and" should not be used when converting numbers to text.  "And" (at least in US English) should only be used to indicate the decimal place.

Example:
1,796,706 => one million, seven hundred ninety-six thousand, seven hundred six.
594,359.34 => five hundred ninety four thousand, three hundred fifty nine and thirty four hundredths

This took me quite some time to figure out and it is so obvious. So, I hope it helps someone out there like it would have helped me if I would have found it on this page:

I wanted to read a binary file and write it out with some modified bytes with their hex values. The easiest way I could come up with was the following:

read the file line by line, e.g. 400 bytes and then chuck it into an array with e.g.

<?php
$handle
= @fopen("/path/to/file.bin", "r");
if (
$handle) {
    while (!
feof($handle)) {
       
$buffer[] = fgets($handle, 400);
    }
   
fclose($handle);
   
$buffer[0][0] = chr(hexdec("FF")); // set the first byte to 0xFF
}
// write out the file from the array ...
?>

One could write a function for that, so that One can write a string of bytes. Don't have time for this now but you should get the idea.

Regarding the code for the function beginsWith($str, $sub), I found that it has problems when only one character is present after the string searched for. I found that this works better instead:

<?php
function beginsWith($str, $sub) {
    return (
strncmp($str, $sub, strlen($sub)) == 0);
}
?>

In responce to mike here is a better random string function

<?php
   
function random_string($max = 20){
       
$chars = "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxwz0123456789_";
        for(
$i = 0; $i < $max; $i++){
           
$rand_key = mt_rand(0, strlen($chars));
           
$string  .= substr($chars, $rand_key, 1);
        }
        return
str_shuffle($string);
    }
?>

Here is a truly random string generator it uses the most common string functions it will work on anywhere.

<?php
   
function random_string($max = 20){
       
$chars = explode(" ", "a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y z 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9");
        for(
$i = 0; $i < $max; $i++){
           
$rnd = array_rand($chars);
           
$rtn .= base64_encode(md5($chars[$rnd]));
        }
        return
substr(str_shuffle(strtolower($rtn)), 0, $max);
    }
?>

[Editor's Note: Remember that number names are locale-specific. Thus in the US 1,000,000,000 is called a billion, while in other countries this might be different (ie. miljard in Dutch). This function provides support only for the US locale]

If you want to convert a number, (int or float) to full spoken text, then you can use my num2text converter, at http://bloople.net/num2text

Examples:
40000 => forty thousand
1,796,706 => one million, seven hundred and ninety-six thousand, seven hundred and six.

If works for positive an negative integers/floats/doubles. The code is only a page long, and you don't have to install any modules or anything.

I hope this comes in handy for somebody!

An update to admin at fivestarbuy dot com's StrParse. Since php5.2.x the occurance of an object in the vardata will cause a "Catchable fatal error". Previously it has failed silently, so I added nullification of present objects.
I also updated comments to be more specific, I hope that's ok with you, admin at fivestarbuy dot com:

<?php
function StrParse($str,$vardata) {

# Variables present in $str is replaced by values of variables in $vardata
# typical use:
# $vardata = get_defined_vars();
# $str = some template code with variables present.
# uncomment the echo line to debug.

$getvarkeys=array_keys($vardata);
$ret=$str;
for (
$x=0; $x < count($getvarkeys); $x++) {
  
$myvar=$getvarkeys[$x];
   if(
is_object($vardata[$myvar])) $vardata[$myvar] = null;
  
#echo "Variable: " . $myvar . " [" . $vardata[$myvar] . "]<br>";
  
$ret=str_replace('$' . $myvar, $vardata[$myvar], $ret);
}
return
$ret;
}
?>

Well for you egold users out ther I wrote this to just return the balance ONLY
If anyone knows a better way to write this lemme know as im a novice

    function _GetBalance($from, $frompass) {
   $defined_vars = get_defined_vars();

   $_url = 'https://www.e-gold.com/acct/balance.asp';

        $_url_p = "AccountID=" . $from . "&PassPhrase=" . $frompass ."";
           $ch = curl_init();

   curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST,1);
   curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS,$_url_p);
   curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL,$_url);
   curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST,  2);
   curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, $defined_vars['HTTP_USER_AGENT']);
   curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER,1);
   $content = curl_exec ($ch);

   curl_close ($ch);
$content=strtolower($content);
$content=strstr($content,"</select></font></th></form></tr>");
$content=strip_tags($content);
$content=strrev($content);
$content=strstr($content,"eseht :eton");
$content=str_replace("eseht :eton","",$content);
$content=ltrim($content);
$content=rtrim($content);
$content=substr($content,0,11);
$content=strrev($content);
$content=ltrim($content);

   return $content;

Here's an easier way to find nth...

function nth($numbex){
  if ($numbex%10 == 1 && $numbex%100 != 11) $sth='st';
  elseif ($numbex%10 == 2 && $numbex%100 != 12) $sth='nd';
  elseif ($numbex%10 == 3 && $numbex%100 != 13) $sth='rd';
  else $sth = 'th';
  return $sth;
}

there is is no need to check if the user has entered a non-integer as we may be using this function for expressing variables as well eg. ith value of x , nth root of z ,etc...

I think that
administrador(ensaimada)sphoera(punt)com's function is
too complicated. It's easier with regular expressions.
So I made this function, it isn't really the same,
it's even better because it returns an array with all the
matches found
If there are no matches, false is returned.

<?php
// bool/array str_between( string str, string
start_str, string end_str )
function
str_between($str,$start,$end) {
  if (
preg_match_all('/' . preg_quote($start) . '(.*?)' . preg_quote($end) . '/',$str,$matches)) {
   return
$matches[1];
  }
 
// no matches
 
return false;
}
?>

Enjoy

Sometimes when converting integers to strings, it looks better to have the number spelled out. I wrote this function that converts integers from -999 to 999 into spelled out strings:

function int2str($int=0){
 $doOnes=true;
 $neg=$int<0?true:false;
 $int=abs(round($int));
 $str='';
 switch(strlen($int)){
  case 1:$int='0'.$int;
  case 2:$int='0'.$int;
  case 3:$int.='';break;
  default:return $int;
 }
 switch($int{0}){
  case 1:$str.='one-hundred-';break;
  case 2:$str.='two-hundred-';break;
  case 3:$str.='three-hundred-';break;
  case 4:$str.='four-hundred-';break;
  case 5:$str.='five-hundred-';break;
  case 6:$str.='six-hundred-';break;
  case 7:$str.='seven-hundred-';break;
  case 8:$str.='eight-hundred-';break;
  case 9:$str.='nine-hundred-';break;
 }
 switch($int{1}){
  case 1:
   switch($int{2}){
    case 0:$str.='ten-';break;
    case 1:$str.='eleven-';break;
    case 2:$str.='twelve-';break;
    case 3:$str.='thirteen-';break;
    case 4:$str.='fourteen-';break;
    case 5:$str.='fifteen-';break;
    case 6:$str.='sixteen-';break;
    case 7:$str.='seventeen-';break;
    case 8:$str.='eighteen-';break;
    case 9:$str.='nineteen-';break;
   }
   $doOnes=false;
  break;
  case 2:$str.='twenty-';break;
  case 3:$str.='thirty-';break;
  case 4:$str.='forty-';break;
  case 5:$str.='fifty-';break;
  case 6:$str.='sixty-';break;
  case 7:$str.='seventy-';break;
  case 8:$str.='eighty-';break;
  case 9:$str.='ninety-';break;
 }
 if($doOnes){
  switch($int{2}){
   case 1:$str.='one-';break;
   case 2:$str.='two-';break;
   case 3:$str.='three-';break;
   case 4:$str.='four-';break;
   case 5:$str.='five-';break;

 }}
 $str=substr($str,0,-1);
 if($neg){
  $str='negative '.$str;
 }
 if($int=='000'){
  $str='zero';
 }
 return $str;
}

In responce to James Baker's sencence case function.
Great function however i would make one slight variation being that it doesn't take into account the fact that a capital is required after a new paragraph so i modified it to check for /r and /n as follows:
<?PHP
/*/ Author : James Baker /*/
function sentenceCase($s){
  
$str = strtolower($s);
  
$cap = true;
 
   for(
$x = 0; $x < strlen($str); $x++){
      
$letter = substr($str, $x, 1);
       if(
$letter == "." || $letter == "!" || $letter == "?" || $letter == "\n" || $letter == "\r"){
          
$cap = true;
       }elseif(
$letter != " " && $cap == true){
          
$letter = strtoupper($letter);
          
$cap = false;
       }
     
      
$ret .= $letter;
   }
 
   return
$ret;
}

I've prepared this simple function to obtain a string delimited between tags (not only XML tags!). Anybody needs something like this?.

<?php

function get_string_between($string, $start, $end){
   
$string = " ".$string;
    
$ini = strpos($string,$start);
     if (
$ini == 0) return "";
    
$ini += strlen($start);    
    
$len = strpos($string,$end,$ini) - $ini;
     return
substr($string,$ini,$len);
}

$string = "this [custom] function is useless!!";
echo
get_string_between($string,"[","]");
// must return "custom";
?>

The functions below:

function beginsWith( $str, $sub )
function endsWith( $str, $sub )

Are correct, but flawed.  You'd need to use the === operator instead:

function beginsWith( $str, $sub ) {
   return ( substr( $str, 0, strlen( $sub ) ) === $sub );
}
function endsWith( $str, $sub ) {
   return ( substr( $str, strlen( $str ) - strlen( $sub ) ) === $sub );
}

Otherwise, endsWith would return "foobar.0" ends with ".0" as well as "0" or "00" or any amount of zeros because numerically .0 does equal 0.

This example lets you parse an unparsed strings variables. Warning: This could cause security leaks if you allow users to pass $variables through this engine. I recommend only using this for your Content Management System.

<?
$mytime
=time();
$mydog="My Dog Ate My PHP!";

# Your Parsing String:
$s1 = 'Hyphen Variable Preserving: $mytime, and $mydog';
echo
"Before: <br><br>$s1<br><br>";

# Remember, wherever you define this, it will not be defined GLOBAL into the function
# which is why we define it here. Defining it global could lead to security issues.
$vardata=get_defined_vars();

# Parse the string
$s1 = StrParse($s1,$vardata);

echo
"After: <br><br>$s1";

function
StrParse($str,$vardata) {
# Takes a string, or piece of data, that contains PHP Variables
 
 # For example, unparsed variables like:  Test using time: $mytime
 # This example shows $mytime, and not the actual variable value.
 # The end result shows the actual variable value of $mytime.

 # This is useful for building a content management system,
 # and directing your variables into your content data,
 # where content is stored in a file or database, unparsed.
 # Of course this could slow down page loads, but it's a good way
 # to parse data from current variables into your loaded new data
 # making it compatible.
 
# Then the variables are replaced with the actual variable..
$getvarkeys=array_keys($vardata);
$ret=$str;
for (
$x=0; $x < count($getvarkeys); $x++) {
   
$myvar=$getvarkeys[$x];
   
#echo "Variable: " . $myvar . " [" . $vardata[$myvar] . "]<br>";
   
$ret=str_replace('$' . $myvar, $vardata[$myvar], $ret);
}
return
$ret;

}

A comprehensive concatenation function, that works with array and strings

<?php
function str_cat() {
 
$args = func_get_args() ;
   
 
// Asserts that every array given as argument is $dim-size.
  // Keys in arrays are stripped off.
  // If no array is found, $dim stays unset.
 
foreach($args as $key => $arg) {
    if(
is_array($arg)) {
      if(!isset(
$dim))
       
$dim = count($arg) ;
      elseif(
$dim != count($arg))
        return
FALSE ;
     
$args[$key] = array_values($arg) ;
    }
  }
       
 
// Concatenation
 
if(isset($dim)) {
   
$result = array() ;
    for(
$i=0;$i<$dim;$i++) {
     
$result[$i] = '' ;
      foreach(
$args as $arg)
       
$result[$i] .= ( is_array($arg) ? $arg[$i] : $arg ) ;
    }
    return
$result ;
  } else {
    return
implode($args) ;
  }
}
?>

A simple example :

<?php
str_cat
(array(1,2,3), '-', array('foo' => 'foo', 'bar' => 'bar', 'noop' => 'noop')) ;
?>

will return :
Array (
  [0] => 1-foo
  [1] => 2-bar
  [2] => 3-noop
)

More usefull :

<?php
$myget
= $_GET ; // retrieving previous $_GET values
$myget['foo'] = 'b a r' ; // changing one value
$myget = str_cat(array_keys($myget), '=', array_map('rawurlencode', array_values($myget))) ;
$querystring = implode(ini_get('arg_separator.output'), $myget)) ;
?>

will return a valid querystring with some values changed.

Note that <?php str_cat('foo', '&', 'bar') ; ?> will return 'foo&bar', while <?php str_cat(array('foo'), '&', 'bar') ; ?> will return array(0 => foo&bar)

to kristin at greenaple dot on dot ca:
thanx for sharing.
your function in recursive form proved to be slightly faster and it returns false (as it should) when the character is not found instead of number 0:
<?php
function strnposr($haystack, $needle, $occurance, $pos = 0) {
    return (
$occurance<2)?strpos($haystack, $needle, $pos):strnposr($haystack,$needle,$occurance-1,strpos($haystack, $needle, $pos) + 1);
}
?>

/**
Utility class: static methods for cleaning & escaping untrusted (i.e.
user-supplied) strings.

Any string can (usually) be thought of as being in one of these 'modes':

pure = what the user actually typed / what you want to see on the page /
       what is actually stored in the DB
gpc  = incoming GET, POST or COOKIE data
sql  = escaped for passing safely to RDBMS via SQL (also, data from DB
       queries and file reads if you have magic_quotes_runtime on--which
       is rare)
html = safe for html display (htmlentities applied)

Always knowing what mode your string is in--using these methods to
convert between modes--will prevent SQL injection and cross-site scripting.

This class refers to its own namespace (so it can work in PHP 4--there is no
self keyword until PHP 5). Do not change the name of the class w/o changing
all the internal references.

Example usage: a POST value that you want to query with:
$username = Str::gpc2sql($_POST['username']);

I really searched for a function that would do this as I've seen it in other languages but I couldn't find it here. This is particularily useful when combined with substr() to take the first part of a string up to a certain point.

strnpos() - Find the nth position of needle in haystack.

<?php

   
function strnpos($haystack, $needle, $occurance, $pos = 0) {
       
        for (
$i = 1; $i <= $occurance; $i++) {
           
$pos = strpos($haystack, $needle, $pos) + 1;
        }
        return
$pos - 1;
       
    }

?>

Example: Give me everything up to the fourth occurance of '/'.

<?php

    $haystack
= "/home/username/www/index.php";
   
$needle = "/";
   
   
$root_dir = substr($haystack, 0, strnpos($haystack, $needle, 4));
   
    echo
$root_dir;
   
?>

Returns: /home/username/www

Use this example with the server variable $_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'] as the haystack and you can self-discover a document's root directory for the purposes of locating global files automatically!

In response to hackajar <matt> yahoo <trot> com,

No string-to-array function exists because it is not needed. If you reference a string with an offset like you do with an array, the character at that offset will be return. This is documented in section III.11's "Strings" article under the "String access and modification by character" heading.

// return tru if $str ends with $sub
function endsWith( $str, $sub ) {
    return ( substr( $str, strlen( $str ) - strlen( $sub ) ) == $sub );
}

// trims off x chars from the front of a string
// or the matching string in $off is trimmed off
function trimOffFront( $off, $str ) {
    if( is_numeric( $off ) )
        return substr( $str, $off );
    else
        return substr( $str, strlen( $off ) );
}

Here's a simpler "simplest" way to toggle through a set of 1..n colors for web backgrounds:

<?php
$colours
= array('#000000', '#808080', '#A0A0A0', '#FFFFFF');

// Get a colour
$color = next($colors) or $color = reset($colors);
?>

The code doesn't need to know anything about the number of elements being cycled through. That way you won't have to tracking down all the code when changing the number of colors or the color values.
