Quick php question

[thunder99]

I know there's an easy way of doing this, but I'm having a brain freeze.

I want to extract the domain name from this array value

a:1:{s:10:"formfield1";s:17:"www.domain.com";}

Anybody know how?

Without or without www.?

Without loading it as JSON shit or whatever that format is...

explode is your friend.

In my opinion this isn't even correct JSON.
Php has some JSON-functions, these will be the easiest way.

This is fucked with by wordpress I am assuming. It has it's own API to pull it back out.

But if it all is in the same format.. just explode it and move on

$sString = 'a:1:{s:10:"formfield1";s:17:"www.domain.com";}';
	
$sTemp = explode(":", $sString);
$iLastIndex = count($sTemp)-1;
	
$sDomain = str_replace( array('"', ';', '}'), "", $sTemp[$iLastIndex]);
echo $sDomain;

This is the way a serialized() array looks like in PHP.
So I guess you could just unserialize() it and then extract $foo['formfield'], which should yield 'www.domain.com'...

[edit]
After actually checking if it would work, I noticed your original isn't formatted properly... the second part claims it's going to contain a string of 17 characters when it's only a 14 character one... so this exact example won't work, but the original of 'www.domain.com' would probably work just fine :P

$sString = 'a:1:{s:10:"formfield1";s:17:"www.domain.com";}';
	
$sTemp = explode(":", $sString);
$iLastIndex = count($sTemp)-1;
	
$sDomain = str_replace( array('"', ';', '}'), "", $sTemp[$iLastIndex]);
echo $sDomain;

I ending up using something similar to this, thanks for the pointers Guys.

Above is wrong. Here:

$sString = 'a:1:{s:10:"formfield1";s:17:"www.domain.com";}';

$vars = unserialize($sString);
$domain = $vars['formfield1'];

EDIT: Sorry, dido got it. Guess I should read the whole thread before replying.
