I have a string of delimited numerical values just like this:
5|2288|502|4208|55|23217|235|10|3845|19053|1885|61|324|9004| ...etc.
Depending on the circumstance, the string may have only 1 value, 15 values, all the way up to 100s of values, all pipe delimited.
I need to count off (and keep/echo) the first 10 values and truncate everything else after that.
I've been looking at all the PHP string functions, but have been unsuccessful in finding a method to handle this directly.
Use explode()
to separate the elements into an array, then you can slice off the first 10, and implode()
them to create the new string.
$arr = "5|2288|502|4208|55|23217|235|10|3845|19053|1885|61|324|9004";
$a = explode ('|',$arr);
$b = array_slice($a,0,10);
$c = implode('|', $b);
Use PHP Explode function
$arr = explode("|",$str);
It will break complete string into an array. EG: arr[0] = 5, arr[1] = 2288 .....
I would use explode to separate the string into an array then echo the first ten results like this
$string = "5|2288|502|4208|55|23217|235|10|3845|19053|1885|61|324|9004";
$arr = explode("|", $string);
for($i = 0; $i < 10; $i++){
echo $arr[$i];
}
Please try below code
$str = '5|2288|502|4208|55|23217|235|10|3845|19053|1885|61|324';
$arrayString = explode('|', $str);
$cnt = 0;
$finalVar = '';
foreach ($arrayString as $data) {
if ($cnt > 10) {
break;
}
$finalVar .= $data . '|';
$cnt++;
}
$finalVar = rtrim($finalVar, '|');
echo $finalVar;
