I am trying to convert ms access sql to postgresql using php.
I have a sql statement in the form ;-
$sql = SELECT DISTINCT [Table Name].[Column.Name], [Table Name
1].[Column Name 2] etc.
what I want to end up with is $sql = SELECT DISTINCT
table_name.column_name, table_name_1.column_name_2, ........
Something along the lines of this?
<?php
error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set('display_errors', 1);
$sql = "SELECT DISTINCT [Table Name].[Column Name], ".
"[Table Name 1].[Column Name 2]";
echo "{$sql}<br />\n";
preg_match_all('%\[([^\]]+)\]%', $sql, $matches, PREG_SET_ORDER);
$change = array();
foreach ( $matches AS $match ) {
$change[$match[0]] = str_replace(' ', '_', $match[1]);
}
echo '<pre>'.print_r($change,1).'</pre>';
echo str_replace(array_keys($change), $change, $sql);

You are a genius! Worked like a charm.
I ran the string thru strlower and strreplace first then thru your
code and it ended up exactly as I required it (all table/columns lower
case, no % $ in column names etc).
Thank you very much.
