Trying to grab the numbers in front of (h), (w) and (d). These are dynamic and I can't get the syntax for it:
<ul>
<li>Make: Mymake</li>
<li>Model: R-22GTF</li>
<li>Dimensions: 13.25" (h) x 20.13" (w) x 18.5" (d)</li>
<li>Sold Individually </li>
<li>Weight: 0 lbs.</li>
</ul>
if (preg_match("/Dimensions: ((?:\d+)(?:\.\d*)?)/", $desc, $DIMS) == true)
{ echo $DIMS[1];}
The above only returns 13.25
. I would like each in its own array or own variable. Each as defined by the number before (h), the number before (w), and the number before (d).
<?php
$input = "
<ul>
<li>Make: Mymake</li>
<li>Model: R-22GTF</li>
<li>Dimensions: 13.25" (h) x 20.13" (w) x 18.5" (d)</li>
<li>Sold Individually </li>
<li>Weight: 0 lbs.</li>
</ul>";
$re = '/.* (\d+\.\d+).*\(h\) .* (\d+\.\d+).*\(w\) .* (\d+\.\d+).*\(d\)/';
if(preg_match($re, $input, $matches))
echo sprintf("H: %s W: %s D: %s
", $matches[1], $matches[2], $matches[3]);
?>
Try the regex bellow, hope i understood well what you are trying to extract :)
[\d.]+(?=&)
EDIT:
global regex
/[\d.]+(?=&)/g
ALso if you want to test various combinations of regexes, please try some live online regex validators like:
It will match your expressions as you type them.
You should be able to do a print_r($DIMS) on this
Dimensions:[^\d.;(<]*([\d.]*)[^;(<]*;[^(<]*\(h\)[^\d.;(<]*([\d.]*)[^;(<]*;[^(<]*\(w\) [^\d.;(<]*([\d.]*)[^;(<]*;[^(<]*\(d\)
expanded
Dimensions:
[^\d.;(<]* ([\d.]*) [^;(<]* ; [^(<]* \(h\)
[^\d.;(<]* ([\d.]*) [^;(<]* ; [^(<]* \(w\)
[^\d.;(<]* ([\d.]*) [^;(<]* ; [^(<]* \(d\)
Its a little strict on validation, but its greedy, so redundant overflow restrictions are necessary. You can just replace the negative classes with .*?
if you want.
