I am echo’ing out results from a WP database plugin and I have managed to narrow down all the results required down to a post ID, it’s now displaying all url records related to that post ID. (Scroll down on this link to see results: http://universitycompare.com/analytics-test/)
This is what I’m using to echo the SQL database records:
<?php
echo "<strong>Stack Overflow Results</strong>";
echo "<br><div style='float:left; width:100%; padding:1em; background:#FFF; margin:2em 0;'>";
$lastDate = date('Y-m-d', strtotime('today - 30 days'));
$todayDate = date('Y-m-d');
$results = $wpdb->get_results( "SELECT * FROM `wp_statistics_pages` WHERE id=37 AND `date` BETWEEN '$lastDate' AND '$todayDate' ", ARRAY_A );
for($i=0;$i<count($results);$i++)
{
echo "<span id='data-point'style='float:left;clear:left;' value='";
echo $results[$i]['count'];
echo "'>";
echo get_site_url().''.$results[$i]['uri'].' (';
echo $results[$i]['count'].')</span>';
} ?>
I have a number of results being echoed that are related to the URL but are not specific, (see below for an example of whats being echoed). What I would like to do is only echo results that match this URL: http://universitycompare.com/universities/anglia-ruskin-uni/
universitycompare.com/universities/anglia-ruskin-uni/ (103) universitycompare.com/universities/anglia-ruskin-uni?offset=10 (1) universitycompare.com/universities/anglia-ruskin-uni/?offset=10 (1) universitycompare.com/universities/anglia-ruskin-uni (1)
Above is an example, I don’t want to echo any results that don’t match the chosen URL exactly. Ideally, only the record that should be shown, should be the the results with (103) next to it. I don’t know the best possible way to do this.
I’ve looked a regex, but a little unsure? Is this something that I need to use?
Edit, (Answer to the above question, too low of a user score to answer own question):
<?php
ini_set('display_errors',1);
ini_set('display_startup_errors',1);
error_reporting(-1);
function startsWith($haystack, $needle) {
// search backwards starting from haystack length characters from the end
return $needle === "" || strrpos($haystack, $needle, -strlen($haystack)) !== FALSE;
}
function endsWith($haystack, $needle) {
// search forward starting from end minus needle length characters
return $needle === "" || (($temp = strlen($haystack) - strlen($needle)) >= 0 && strpos($haystack, $needle, $temp) !== FALSE);
}
echo "<strong>Stack Overflow Results</strong>";
echo "<br><div style='float:left; width:100%; padding:1em; background:#FFF; margin:2em 0;'>";
$lastDate = date('Y-m-d', strtotime('today - 30 days'));
$todayDate = date('Y-m-d');
$results = $wpdb->get_results( "SELECT * FROM `wp_statistics_pages` WHERE id=37 AND `date` BETWEEN '$lastDate' AND '$todayDate' ", ARRAY_A );
for($i=0;$i<count($results);$i++)
if (endsWith(get_site_url().''.$results[$i]['uri'], 'http://universitycompare.com/universities/anglia-ruskin-uni/'))
{
echo "<span id='data-point'style='float:left;clear:left;' value='";
echo $results[$i]['count'];
echo "'>";
echo get_site_url().''.$results[$i]['uri'].' (';
echo $results[$i]['count'].')</span>';
}
?>
You may be looking for startsWith(). Try the following:
