preg_match per instance

@ehimeJul 30.2010

I’m having a bit of trouble getting an additional increment per
instance. Should I get another foreach loop in there? Or is there
a better way to get this adding while it’s coming across new
occurrences of $v in the string?

[code=php] foreach( $tmp AS $k => $v ) {

$v = preg_replace(array(‘/{/’, ‘/}/’), array(“<a href='”.$url[$i++].”‘>r”, ‘</a>’), $v);

$payload .= “<div class=’ids’>”; $payload .= “<h3>{$k}</h3>”;

$payload .= “<div class=’hide’>”;

$payload .= “<div class=’PanelBox’><div class=’infoPanel’ style=’display: block;’>”; $payload .= “<div class=’span-19 prepend-top prepend-half brandDescription’>”;

$payload .= “<h2 style=’font-size:15px;’>{$v}</h2>”; //code } [/code]

value it’s catching on is

[code] its when your high backs press {into your} calf’s while making it {impossible} to ride. used to explain the emphasis of style in a trick. [/code]

In theory (lol) it should replace each instance of { with a url, right?

@MindzaiJul 30.2010 — #I don't really understand your issue. What is the problem you are having?

@ehimeauthorJul 30.2010 — #Cool lemme explain it a bit better.

So I have an array called tmp that I create, it has values that have

links inside them that haven't been added yet. They way that I know

a text link is that they are covered like {link}. I'm trying to replace

the { with <a href='$url' and } with </a>. I get the links from another

array called $url. Unfortunately if there is MORE than one link in a

string it seems to replace it with the last value of the $url.

[code=php]
 <?php
 $x = @simplexml_load_file('export.xml') 
 or die('File could not be loaded.');
 
   function dump($var) { echo '<pre>'; var_dump($var);  echo '</pre>'; }
 
   $tmp = $url = array();
   foreach( $x AS $xml ) {
   $n = $m = NULL;
   foreach( $xml AS $k => $v ) {
 
   $v = htmlentities($v);
   if ($k == 'Name') {$n = $v;}
   if ($k == 'Description') {$m = $v;}
   if ($k == 'URL') { if ($v == '') {$url[] = '#';} else {if (stristr($v, '|')) {$url = explode('|', $v);} else {$url[] = $v;}}}
   } 
  //		$m = explode('{', $m);
  //		$count = count($m);
  //		foreach ($m AS $k){echo $k;
  //			while ($count != 0)
  //			{ $url[$count-1] = array_push($k,$k[$count]); 
  //			}}
 
  //	dump($m); 
 
   $tmp[$n] = $m;
   }
 
  //$magento_skin = "{{skin url='images/brandPages/}}";
 
  $i=0; foreach ($tmp AS $k => $v) { 
  $v = str_replace(array('{', '}'), array("<a href='".$url[$i++]."'>r", '</a>'), $v); 
  $tmp[$k] = $v;}
 
  foreach( $tmp AS $k => $v ) {
   $payload .= "<div class='ids'>";
   $payload .= "<h3>{$k}</h3>";
 
   $payload .= "<div class='hide'>";
 
   $payload .= "<div class='PanelBox'><div class='infoPanel' style='display: block;'>";
   $payload .= "<div class='span-19 prepend-top prepend-half brandDescription'>";
 
   $payload .= "<h2 style='font-size:15px;'>{$v}</h2>";
 
   $payload .= "</div><div class='span-18 prepend-half prepend-top brandLinks'>";
   $payload .= "</div></div></div>";

   $payload .= "</h3></div></div></div>";
 
   $payload .= "</div>";
  }
 
  //re-wrap
  $payload = "<div style='margin:auto 19px;width:350px;'>{$payload}</div>";
  $payload = "<div style='width: 750px; border:solid 1px; #000'>{$payload}</div>";

@ehimeauthorAug 02.2010 — #Happy Monday bump.

So I was thinking over the weekend that

the best method might be to explode and

implode it before it hits the $tmp array if

possible. I think it might save me from future

shenanigans later on. So I'm taking a deeper

look at the code right here that I've commented

out.

[code=php]
  $tmp = $url = array();
 foreach( $x AS $xml ) {
 $n = $m = NULL;
 foreach( $xml AS $k => $v ) {
 
   $v = htmlentities($v);
   if ($k == 'Name') {$n = $v;}
   if ($k == 'Description') {$m = $v;}
   if ($k == 'URL') { if ($v == '') {$url[] = '#';} else {if (stristr($v, '|')) {$url = explode('|', $v);} else {$url[] = $v;}}}
   } 
  //        $m = explode('{', $m);
  //        $count = count($m);
  //        foreach ($m AS $k){echo $k;
  //            while ($count != 0)
  //            { $url[$count-1] = array_push($k,$k[$count]); 
  //            }}
 
  //    dump($m); 
 
   $tmp[$n] = $m;
   }
 [/code]

This is still open and unsolved! To reiterate the issue, I am trying to

replace multiple instances of { in an array with contents of an exploded

string. Thanks for the help guys.
