Mike -- I've "bottom posted" my reply, as is the convention for this list (and most others). Scroll down. ---- From: Mike Peloso [mailto:mpeloso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Thursday, December 18, 2008 9:56 AM To: Boyd, Todd M. Subject: Php question from Newsgroup Todd, I have attached a few jpgs to show the problems I am having (With both of my recent posts) Any questions you can call me. The first one shows the value of the php file I am trying to parse.( I cant set any of those directives,) I can't set php.ini per dir The second shows what your REGEX looks like as its being sent to: preg_match_all($regex, $test2, $result, PREG_PATTERN_ORDER); As you can see there is a whole lot of escaping going on here. Thanks Mike Heres all the code: <?php process_uploaded_file('letter'); function process_uploaded_file($fname) { // Assumes set of $_POST variables in the form: name, name_fname, name_size, name_type $_POST[$fname.'_fname'] = $_FILES[$fname]['name']; $_POST[$fname.'_size'] = $_FILES[$fname]['size']; $_POST[$fname.'_type'] = $_FILES[$fname]['type']; $_POST[$fname.'_fname'] = strtr($_POST[$fname.'_fname'],' %&*;:"{}[]|\<>,/()%$#@!','________________________'); //fix special chars in name $_POST[$fname.'_fname'] = strtr($_POST[$fname.'_fname'],"'","_"); $fileHandle = fopen($_FILES[$fname]['tmp_name'], "r"); $_POST[$fname] =stripslashes(fread($fileHandle, $_POST[$fname.'_size'])); $test=$_POST[$fname]; $test3=stripslashes($test); //$regex='/function [a-z]* *([$a-zA-Z]*)/'; //$regex='/function [a-z]* *(?$[a-z]*)?/'; $regex = '/function\s+[-_a-z0-9]+\s*\((\s*$\?[-_a-z0-9]+\s*,?)*\s*\)/i'; $functions=do_reg($regex,$test); } function do_reg($regex,$test) { $test2=preg_quote($test); preg_match_all($regex, $test2, $result, PREG_PATTERN_ORDER); return $result = $result[0]; } ?> ---- Mike, You are using preg_quote(). This will add slashes to every "special" RegEx character in your pattern (i.e., parentheses and dollar signs, etc.). Try performing your RegEx search without using preg_quote() and let me know if it does any better. Also--try to keep your replies on the PHP List, as the information in them can be used by others on their own projects. // Todd -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
