I'm converting 30 year old code and needed a string TAB function:

  //tab function similar to TAB used in old BASIC languages
  //though some of them did not truncate if the string were
  //longer than the requested position
  function tab($instring="",$topos=0){
    if(strlen($instring)<$topos){
      $result=str_pad($instring,$topos-1," ",STR_PAD_RIGHT);
    }else{
      $result=substr($instring,0,$topos-1);
    }
    return $result;
  }

  $pline="String with this tab to 50 and";
  $tline=tab($pline,50)."finish it.";
  echo $tline.PHP_EOL;
  $pline="101010101020202020203030303030404040404050505050506060606060";
  $tline=tab($pline,50)."finish it.";
  echo $tline.PHP_EOL;

  //Results in this output:
  //String with this tab to 50 and                   finish it.
  //1010101010202020202030303030304040404040505050505finish it.

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);
}
?>

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!

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)

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.

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.

I was looking for a function to find the common substring in 2 different strings. I tried both the mb_string_intersect and string_intersect functions listed here but didn't work for me.

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...

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.

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

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);
}

If you want a function to return all text in a string up to the Nth occurrence of a substring, try the below function.

Works in PHP >= 5.

(Pommef provided another sample function for this purpose below, but I believe it is incorrect.)

<?php

// Returns all of $haystack up to (but excluding) the $n_occurrence occurrence of $needle. Therefore:
//        If there are < $n_occurrence occurrences of $needle in $haystack, the entire string will be returned.
//        If there are >= $n_occurrence occurrences of $needle in $haystack, the returned string will end before the $n_occurrence'th needle.
// This function only makes sense for $n_occurrence >= 1
function nsubstr($needle, $haystack, $n_occurrence)
{
    // After exploding by $needle, every entry in $arr except (possibly) part of the last entry should have its content returned.
    $arr = explode($needle,$haystack,$n_occurrence);
    // Examine last entry in $arr. If it contains $needle, cut out all text except for the text before $needle.
    $last = count($arr) - 1;
    $pos_in_last = strpos($arr[$last],$needle);
    
    if ($pos_in_last !== false)
        $arr[$last] = substr($arr[$last],0,$pos_in_last);
    
    return implode($needle,$arr);
}

$string = 'd24jkdslgjldk2424jgklsjg24jskgldjk24';

print 'S:  ' . $string . '<br>';
print '1: ' . nsubstr('24',$string,1) . '<br>';
print '2: ' . nsubstr('24',$string,2) . '<br>';
print '3: ' . nsubstr('24',$string,3) . '<br>';
print '4: ' . nsubstr('24',$string,4) . '<br>';
print '5: ' . nsubstr('24',$string,5) . '<br>';
print '6: ' . nsubstr('24',$string,6) . '<br>';
print '7: ' . nsubstr('24',$string,7) . '<br>';

/*
// prints:
S: d24jkdslgjldk2424jgklsjg24jskgldjk24
1: d
2: d24jkdslgjldk
3: d24jkdslgjldk24
4: d24jkdslgjldk2424jgklsjg
5: d24jkdslgjldk2424jgklsjg24jskgldjk
6: d24jkdslgjldk2424jgklsjg24jskgldjk24
7: d24jkdslgjldk2424jgklsjg24jskgldjk24
*/

?>

Note that this function can be combined with wordwrap() to accomplish a routine but fairly difficult web design goal, namely, limiting inline HTML text to a certain number of lines. wordwrap() can break your string using <br>, and then you can use this function to only return text up to the N'th <br>.

You will still have to make a conservative guess of the max number of characters per line with wordwrap(), but you can be more precise than if you were simply truncating a multiple-line string with substr().

See example:

<?php

$text = 'Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit. Pellentesque id massa. Duis sollicitudin ipsum vel diam. Aliquam pulvinar sagittis felis. Nullam hendrerit semper elit. Donec convallis mollis risus. Cras blandit mollis turpis. Vivamus facilisis, sapien at tincidunt accumsan, arcu dolor suscipit sem, tristique convallis ante ante id diam. Curabitur mollis, lacus vel gravida accumsan, enim quam condimentum est, vitae rutrum neque magna ac enim.';

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";
?>

/**
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']);
*/

//This sets SQL escaping to use slashes; for Sybase(/MSSQL)-style escaping
// ( ' --> '' ), set to true.
define('STR_SYBASE', false);

    function gpc2sql($gpc, $maxLength = false)
    {

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

<?php

   $haystack = "/home/username/www/index.php";
   $needle = "/";
  
   function strnpos($haystack, $needle, $occurance, $pos = 0) {
        
        $res = implode($needle,$haystack);
        
        $res = array_slice($res, $pos,  $occurance);
        
        return explode ($needle,$res); 
    } 
?>

Get the intersection of two strings using array_intersect

<?php

function string_intersect($string1, $string2)
{
    $array1 = $array2 = array();

    for($i = 0, $j = 0, $s1_len = strlen($string1), $s2_len = strlen($string2);($i < $s1_len) || ($j < $s2_len); $i++, $j++) {
        if($i < $s1_len) {
            $array1[] = $string1[$i];
        }
        if($j < $s2_len) {
            $array2[] = $string2[$j];
        }
    }

    return implode('', array_intersect($array1, $array2));
}

?>

For more advanced comparison you can use array_uintersect as well.
