preg_replace to add something after closing tag - PHP

PHP - preg_replace to add something after closing tag :

Here i will explain how to add something like string, char (or) any html tag after closing tag. Here we are using preg_replace() function to do it.

In the below example, add <br /> tag after closing of all <img> tag.

Syntax :

    preg_replace('/(<img[^>]+>(?:<\/img>)?)/i', '$1<br />', $str);
    
Note : This will match with <img />, <img>, <img></img> all of it.

Example :

    <?php
    
        $str = "<img src='img_path'>TechniqZone<img src='img_path'>";
        echo preg_replace('/(<img[^>]+>(?:<\/img>)?)/i', '$1<br />', $str);
        
    ?>
    
Output :

    <img src='img_path'><br />TechniqZone<img src='img_path'><br />
    
You can use this preg_replace() syntax for any of the html tags.

htmlentities() and html_entity_decode() in JQuery

htmlentities() and html_entity_decode() in JQuery :


We are all know about use of htmlentities() in PHP. This function is used to convert all character to HTML entities. both function are used to treat string as a html and HTML as a string.
  
    For Example :
  
              
            echo htmlentities("TechniqZone");
          
         ?>
      
        Output :
      
            &lt ;a href=&#39 ;techniqzone.blogspot.in'&#39 ;&gt ;TechniqZone&lt ;/a&gt ; 
 // here semicolons (;) are placed with spaces for display here.
           
        This is very usefull in many places in php files to display html tags in website. But in javascript/JQuery, pre-defined encode decode function is not available.
      
        I hereby explained how to use encode and decode of HTML tags in JQuery. Before that need to know the diifference between JQuery.html() and JQuery.text().
      
            JQuery.html() - Treat string as HTML.
            JQuery.html() - Treat HTML as string.
          
        For Example :
      
            $("#techZone").html("<a href=''></a>");
            $("#techZone").text("<a href=''></a>");

Okay, now we create encode/decode custom function using JQuery.
  
        function htmlentities(str)
        {
            if(str) // check str is empty or not.
                return $("<div />").text(str).html();
            else
                return 'Argument mis-matched';
        }
      
        htmlentities("TechniqZone");
      
     Here create dummy <div> tag and append given string as text, after that take that dummy div text as html content.
  
     For decode,
  
        function html_entity_decode(str)
        {
            if(str) // check str is empty or not.
                return $("<div />").html(str).text();
            else
                return 'Argument mis-matched';
        }
  
        html_entity_decode("&lt ;a href=&#39 ;techniqzone.blogspot.in&#39 ;&gt ;TechniqZone&lt ;/a&gt ;");
// here semicolons (;) are placed with spaces for display here.

Note : htmlentities and html_entity_decode function are only working with jquery plugin files.

Redirect with HTTP Status Code - PHP

Redirect one url to another url using php is simply run with "header ("Location: redirectURL");" . But redirect with HTTP Status Code is more efficient to optimize for search engines.

    Here i will explain about php redirect with http status code. These http status code is common for all php versions.

<?php
function httpRedirect($code,$redirectURL){
   static $httpType = array (
       100 => "HTTP/1.1 100 Continue",
       101 => "HTTP/1.1 101 Switching Protocols",
       200 => "HTTP/1.1 200 OK",
       201 => "HTTP/1.1 201 Created",

       307 => "HTTP/1.1 307 Temporary Redirect",
       400 => "HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request",
       401 => "HTTP/1.1 401 Unauthorized",
       402 => "HTTP/1.1 402 Payment Required",
       403 => "HTTP/1.1 403 Forbidden",
       404 => "HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found",
       405 => "HTTP/1.1 405 Method Not Allowed",
       406 => "HTTP/1.1 406 Not Acceptable",
       407 => "HTTP/1.1 407 Proxy Authentication Required",
       408 => "HTTP/1.1 408 Request Time-out",
       409 => "HTTP/1.1 409 Conflict",
       410 => "HTTP/1.1 410 Gone",
       411 => "HTTP/1.1 411 Length Required",
       412 => "HTTP/1.1 412 Precondition Failed",
       413 => "HTTP/1.1 413 Request Entity Too Large",
       414 => "HTTP/1.1 414 Request-URI Too Large",
       415 => "HTTP/1.1 415 Unsupported Media Type",
       416 => "HTTP/1.1 416 Requested range not satisfiable",
       417 => "HTTP/1.1 417 Expectation Failed",
       500 => "HTTP/1.1 500 Internal Server Error",
       501 => "HTTP/1.1 501 Not Implemented",
       502 => "HTTP/1.1 502 Bad Gateway",
       503 => "HTTP/1.1 503 Service Unavailable",
       504 => "HTTP/1.1 504 Gateway Time-out"
   );
   header($httpType[$code]);
   header ("Location: $redirectURL");
}

httpRedirect(301,"http://techniqzone.blogspot.in/");

?>

Normally we do only header("Location: url"), here add header http status before redirect to given url.

MySQL query to trim particular character from database column field

MySQL has some default functions to trim particular cahr or whitespaces from all the column field in database rows. MySQL provide four type of methods to trim char.
1. TRIM()
2. TRIM(LEADING)
3. TRIM(BOTH)
4. TRIM(TRAILING)
we can use above four methods in select, update and delete queries.
1. TRIM()
    TRIM() function is used to remove the whitespaces from start and end of the string.
Query : select TRIM( TechniqZone );
Result : TechniqZone
    This is trim the whitespaces in all the column.
Example : update table_name set field1=TRIM(field1)
2. TRIM(LEADING)
    TRIM(LEADING) function is used to remove the given charecter from the starting postion of the string.
Query : select TRIM(LEADING "'" FROM "TechniqZone'");
Rssult : TechniqZone
  
    This method is remove the single quotes(') from al the column starting postion.
Example : update table_name set field1=TRIM(LEADING "'" FROM field1)
3. TRIM(BOTH)
    TRIM(BOTH) function is used to remove particular charecter from both start and end postion of the string.
Query : select TRIM(BOTH '"' FROM '"TechniqZone"');
Rssult : TechniqZone
    This is used to remove the double quotes (") from both position.
Example : update table_name set field1=TRIM(BOTH "'" FROM field1)
4. TRIM(TRAILING)
    TRIM(TRAILING) function is used to remove given charecter from end of the string.
Query : select TRIM(TRAILING '.com' FROM "TechniqZone.com");
