I'm grabbing a list of tags used on a post with the $posttags
array. In this there's a special tag that I want to store separately: profile-somename
.
How do I:
profile-somename
tag from the list (The value after profile-
is dynamic, keeps changing, somename
is just an example)profile-
from it andMany thanks for your help.
like
$tags = array('foo', 'bar', 'profile-blah');
$found = preg_grep('~^profile~', $tags);
if($found)
$profile_name = substr(end($found), strlen('profile-'));
ok, it turns out we have array of objects. preg_grep won't work with it, so you have to loop
function find_profile_name($posttags) {
foreach($posttags as $tag)
if(preg_match('~^profile-(.+)~', $tag->slug, $m))
return $m[1];
return null; // no profile-... found
}
