i'm still a freshman on PHP. So i have a variable called 'full name' and i was trying to explode and implode the first and the last variable value.
$fullname='Andre Filipe da Costa Ferreira';
$namepieces=explode('', $fullname);
$flname=implode('', namepieces[0], namepieces[lastvar]);
echo "Welcome".$flname;
I would appreciate if someone could help me! Thanks :D
This with name pieces separated with a space, and works with a single name piece like Andre:
<?php
$fullname = 'Andre Filipe da Costa Ferreira';
$namepieces = explode(' ', $fullname);
$n = count($namepieces);
if($n > 1) {
$flname = implode(' ', array($namepieces[0], $namepieces[$n-1]));
} else {
$flname = $namepieces[0];
}
echo "Welcome " . $flname;
//
?>
This gets:
Welcome Andre Ferreira
Try:
$names = explode(" ", "Andre Filipe da Costa Ferreira");
printf("Welcome %s %s", current($names), end($names));
where current() gets its first element, and end() last one.
<?php
$fullname = 'Andre Filipe da Costa Ferreira';
$namepieces = explode(' ', $fullname);
$flname = implode(' ', array($namepieces[0], $namepieces[count($namepieces)-1]));
echo "Welcome " . $flname;
//
?>
You need to use end($namepieces); which returns the value of the last element or FALSE for empty array.Also your are missing $ before namepieces
$flname=implode('', $namepieces[0], end($namepieces));
Another example taken from php.net for getting first and last element from array
$items = array( 'one', 'two', 'three' );
$lastItem = end( $items ); // three
$current = current( $items ); // one
current() isn't a way to get index 0: current() is a way to get the current element of an array when walking through it using an iterator/next()/prev(). That it happens to be index 0 at first isn't a reason to use current() for this.[0]?Its beter way I guess
<?php
$fullname = 'Andre Filipe da Costa Ferreira';
$namepieces = explode(' ', $fullname);
$n = count($namepieces);
$n > 0 ? $flname = implode(' ', array($namepieces[0], $namepieces[$n-1])) : $flname = $namepieces[0];
echo "Welcome " . $flname;
//
?>
$in front ofnamepieceson line 3; otherwise - what is the issue that you're having? Do you get an error message? A blank screen? The wrong data?
