Someone kindly gave me this once. I now need to reverse engineer it to remove the quotes and plus signs from $searchenquiry. Is it as simple as this?
// FINAL RESULT: [+"john" +"johnston"]
$sEnquiry = preg_replace("/\s+/", "+", $sEnquiry);
// RESULT: ["john" "johnston"]
$sEnquiry = preg_replace("/\s+/", "\"", $sEnquiry);
// RESULT: [john johnston]
--------original code-----------------------------------------------
$sEnquiry = preg_replace("/\s+/", " ", $sEnquiry);
// remove whitespace from beginning & end
// RESULT: [john johnston]$sEnquiry = preg_replace("/\s+/", " ", $sEnquiry); // replace internal whitespace with single spaces // RESULT: [john johnston] $sEnquiry = str_replace(" ", "\" +\"", $sEnquiry); // replace each space with quote-space-plus-quote // RESULT: [john" +"johnston] $sEnquiry = "+\"" . $sEnquiry . "\""; // add beginning & ending delimiters // FINAL RESULT: [+"john" +"johnston"]
