note 47863 added to function.substr

(minor tweak, added the $j++;) Here's a useful algorithm for parsing page ranges. $pages = '34, 35, 36, 38-40, 93, 126'; $pageslen = strlen($pages); for ($i=0; $i<$pageslen; $i++) {if (ereg('[0-9]', $pages{$i})) {$numbuff = $numbuff.$pages{$i};} elseif ($pages{$i} == ',') {$page[] = $numbuff; $numbuff = '';} elseif ($pages{$i} == '-') {$j = 0; $range[$j][0] = $numbuff; $numbuff = ''; $i++; do { if (ereg('[0-9]',$pages{$i})) {$numbuff = $numbuff.$pages{$i};} $i++; } while ($pages{$i} != ','); $range[$j][1] = $numbuff; $numbuff = ''; $j++; } } $page[] = $numbuff; $page[] gives you the singles, $range[][] gives you the ranges. ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.substr.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+47863 Delete -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+47863&report=yes Reason: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+47863&report=yes&reason=bad+code Reason: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+47863&report=yes&reason=spam Reason: useless example -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+47863&report=yes&reason=useless+example Reason: contains commercial links -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+47863&report=yes&reason=contains+commercial+links Reason: useless note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+47863&report=yes&reason=useless+note Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+47863&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
