[RESOLVED] Looking for a little solution

codegeek

Hi
I am working on a small personal project and have a problem that seems to have me stumped so I am looking for maybe some guidance

I have a string in the database like seperated by a comma:

http://www.mydomain.com/index.php,http://www.anotherdomain.com/index.php

What I would like to do is take this string, split/seperate it at the comma and add an extra extended piece to the end of each:

Like so :

http://www.mydomain.com/index.php?home=1234

http://www.anotherdomain.com/index.php?home=1234

and then join them back together:

http://www.mydomain.com/index.php?home=1234,http://www.anotherdomain.com/index.php?home=1234

I have tried several preg_replace, explode etc..but just can't get it to work for me.?

Would anyone have a solution that may help me move on..🙂

Thankyou in advance.

explode(",", $variable) should split them into an array. Then add your bit on the end by concatenating with the dot operator. Then join them back together the same way or using implode to put the comma back in.

yep thanks I did try :

$var = explode(",", $variable);

but I got stuck on the correct way how to handle the array after.?

I can add the piece after, and glue it back...but my attempts have just been outputting 'array' as a result.?

Thanks

Try printr($var); instead of echoing.

You may have succeeded without realising.

Thanks for the suggestions I got it to work for me in the end.

$var1= explode(",", variablestring,variablestring,variablestring);

$myglue = extrastringinfo;

$var2= implode ("$myglue", $var1);

$echo $var2

Outputs:

variablestringextrastringinfo,variablestringextrastringinfo,variablestringextrastringinfo

Funny how the simple things seem to trip you up..🙂

Funny how there is a "mark thread as resolved" functionality and no one seems to find it....

Its hidden under the thread options at the top, probably why. Not used to moderating my own topics sorry..lol Funny that.
