What is the best method to split data in a string.

Currently I am reading a file which has "this is some sample text"
I would like to split this at whitespace's so it gives me 5 array values.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

best method for reading a file

Thu, 27 Nov 2008 08:05:56 -0700

Posted the message 'best method for reading a file' on the Beginner C/C++ forum.

I am trying to figure out the best method for reading in a file:
the file has a structure similar to XML (though it is NOT xml).
<job>
<description>
General
specific
professional
</description>
<wage>
7.25
11.56
16.36
</wage>
</job>

This file could be either large or small, depends on previous usage. Would it be worth reading in the whole file to parse the data or reading in the data line by line?

Thanks

Re: Modifying a select field...

Hi there,

You are able to edit the background color and font using css. Just give the box a class name then apply css coding to it as standard. I remember reading somewhere that I dont think it will work on IE based browsers. So it might be worth just slightly changing your deisgn to match other wise there will differences in design on different browsers.

Thanks

Re: file_get_contents() works sometimes

Hi,

I once had a similar problem to what your having using the file_get_contents(). I think the problem I had was that the file I was collecting was so large it just didnt work.

I ended up just using the file() function. This turned out nicer as all the data was put into an array as opposed to a giant string. Means that you can work with it better.

It might be worth you checking out the php.net website to look at some other options and solutions people have come up with.

Thanks,

Comparing time using PHP

Wed, 09 Jul 2008 03:25:49 -0700

Posted the message 'Comparing time using PHP' on the PHP forum.

I am looking to compare two times I have collected, the data consists of a current day/ time, and I am looking to compare this to a previous day/ time.
If the dates are within 24 hours of each other then all is good if its within 30 hours then there might be a problem.
And if the date is over 30 hours then an error has occured.

Does anyone know the best way of comparing these dates and times?

Thanks
Matt

Re: Help us test the PH Re-design!

Something that could look cool in the future would be the interactive element on the site. Something where the user can edit the page layout so the items that they use the most are in the position they want it. It could also lead to a further development where users of PH could design our own apps for it.

Obviously the work involved would be large and therefore may not be viable
but it would be a cool feature of the future.
