What is the regex pattern in question?

Ditto. We're not mind readers and can't help you unless you post your code.

Hi
Really sorry for not posting the regex pattern
here it is

$lines = preg_split ("/(?<!$skip)(?<=[.?!])\s+(?=[^a-z])/",
$string,
-1,
PREG_SPLIT_NO_EMPTY);

thanks in advance

Interesting.. ran that code (along with a sample string and $skip variable) and it worked fine.

Can you show us some example values for $string and $skip that make this error happen?

Hi bradgrafelman,

                        thanks for your time. I too tried it in my local system and it is doing just fine. But when i hosted it  this error is popping up .. is that cause of data that i am entering ?.It does some formating (just like this editor) I am using tinymce.Hope you got it ... let me know what you think.The strings are just ordinary paras of text.

As I said, in order for us to duplicate this error (which doesn't seem to be obvious in the syntax of the code), it's best that we work with the same data that is giving you this error. So, can you echo out the $string and $skip variables on your production server and paste them here?

That way, we can use the exact data that's causing the error and see if we can reproduce it. Also, what version of PHP is your production server running?

Hi bradgrafelman,

                     Here is the $string data

From the very inception in 1979, Shreyas has been giving prime importance in the formation of people’s organizations. We believe that local institutions can only effectively address the Regional issues. As a result number of Farm Clubs and Mahila Samajams were organized in the 80’s and may of them got registered in the Societies Registration Act 1860. Later on by 1996 these big groups were again divided into small groups in the form of Self Help Groups (SHGs). At present 2710 Self Help Groups are working for the betterment of 45379 families. For the effective co-ordination of SHG activities they are locally federate in the form of Units and further at the Region. Besides this there are separate groups for Children, Youth, Tribals and Senior Citizens. Also the experimenting the groups including PTD and MGBIP are working for the income generation programmes in concerned field. Shreyas initiated Micro Finance programmes in the year 1986, with the name “Credit Union” This scheme was known as “Lakshodayam”, “Gramodayam” & “Bodhana”, promoting the savings of marginalized people for particular projects. Later on this programme is termed as “people’s bank”, where the savings of the people are managed themselves for IGP, infrastructural development, education, marriage and treatment with easy terms and conditions. At present we have 100 peoples bank units catering the needs of 45379 families.Objectives <ol><li>To form and strengthen micro level people’s structures like SHGs and federations.</li><li>To direct, guide and motivate the micro level people’s structures and initiatives for development collaboration at the local level.</li><li>To help the Federating structures to mobilize and channelise financial resources for development initiatives.</li><li>To assure optimum utilization of local finance for income generation and entrepreneurial activities .</li><li>To promote the capacity building of staff and peoples’ leaders for P.B. management .</li><li>To streamline the people’s structures towards sustainable development process. </li></ol> Main Activities <ul><li>Formation and strengthening of SHGs and Federations</li><li>Promotion of thrift, savings and credit.</li><li>Promotion of Bank linkages</li><li>Capacity building of Peoples’ leaders and staff</li><li>Participatory monitoring and evaluation at all levels</li><li>Research study and documentation</li><li>Promotion of family budgetting through family diary </li></ul>

and $skip comes from

$skip_array = array (

'Jr', 'Mr', 'Mrs', 'Ms', 'Dr', 'Prof', 'Sr' ,
'jr', 'mr', 'mrs', 'ms', 'dr', 'prof', 'sr' ,

'col','gen', 'lt', 'cmdr',

'dept', 'univ',

'inc', 'ltd',

'arc', 'al', 'ave', 'cl', 'ct', 'cres', 'dr',
'la', 'pl', 'plz', 'rd', 'tce',
'Ala' , 'Ariz', 'Ark', 'Cal', 'Calif', 'Col', 'Colo', 'Conn',
'Del', 'Fed' , 'Fla', 'Ga', 'Ida', 'Id', 'Ill', 'Ind', 'Ia',
'Kan', 'Kans', 'Ken', 'Ky' , 'La', 'Me', 'Md', 'Is', 'Mass',
'Mich', 'Minn', 'Miss', 'Mo', 'Mont', 'Neb', 'Nebr' , 'Nev',
'Mex', 'Okla', 'Ok', 'Ore', 'Oreg', 'Penna', 'Penn', 'Pa' , 'Dak',
'Tenn', 'Tex', 'Ut', 'Vt', 'Va', 'Wash', 'Wis', 'Wisc', 'Wy',
'Wyo', 'USAFA', 'Alta' , 'Man', 'Ont', 'Que', 'Sask', 'Yuk'.

'jan','feb','mar','apr','may','jun','jul','aug','sep','oct','nov','dec', 'sept',

'vs', 'etc', 'no' );

// build string of shortenings
$skip = '';
foreach($skip_array as $abbr) {
$skip = $skip . (empty($skip) ? '' : '|') . '\s{1}' . $abbr . '[.!?]';
}

// split text into sentences
$lines = preg_split ("/(?<!$skip)(?<=[.?!])\s+(?=[^a-z])/",
$string,
-1,
PREG_SPLIT_NO_EMPTY);

and the hosting server is using php 4.4.6

I'm afraid this regexp is beyond my knowledge... one major problem I see is that the negative lookbehind isn't a fixed width, which will cause errors.

Perhaps you can explain what you're trying to achieve and we can figure out a better way to do it?

hi bradgrafelman
Thanks for your time.What i need is just something that should split text of $string to sentences skipping those in $skip .. since they cant be considered as a sentence ..(just abbreviations).This is for a cms where i need to put a picture after four sentences of text.(i would like to check the no of words too ... to avoid lengthy sentences).So this is something like formating text and displaying it nicely.So please let me know whether there is something which does this more easily
