Help with System Uptime filtering

[kumschick]

Hi,

I have this output and I want to filter every number and put it into a variable.

output: 0 day(s), 1 hour(s), 28 minute(s), 55 second(s)

for ex.:

$uptime_days    = "$xxxxxxx";
$uptime_hours   = "$xxxxxxx";
$uptime_minutes = "$xxxxxxx";
$uptime_seconds = "$xxxxxxx";

Can someone help me please?

thx

you can use regular expressions perhaps? depending on where you have this output and how you access it.

If it's useful...

<?
$p="0 day(s), 1 hour(s), 28 minute(s), 55 second(s)";

$c=array("day", "hour", "minute", "second");
$r=array();
while (list($i, $d)=each($c)) {
    if ($i>0) {
        $m=strpos($p, $c[$i-1]."(s), ")+strlen($c[$i-1]."(s), ");
    } else {
        $m=0;
    }
    $n=strpos($p, " ".$d)-$m;
    $r[$d]=substr($p, $m, $n);
}

print_r($r);
?>

This of course requires consistent $p formatting, and the array can be modified to suit additional consistent attributes. May not be as forgiving as RegExp though.
