Hi,
I was wondering how this can be done in PHP:
Input:
[php]$something = “some text - $113.80
another line of text - $200
yet another one - $45”;[/php]
Output:
[php]358.80[/php]
Adding all the values contained within the text (starting with an $ symbol)
How would I do this?
Thanks,
Dennis
Hi are you looking for a function that would work in any situation involving text and numbers?
Or would it always be in that same form/layout/pattern?
First, you’ll need to extract $ amounts from the string. This can easily be done with regular expressions:
[php]<?php
if(preg_match_all(’~$([0-9.]+)~’,$something,$matches)){
// some amounts found - sum them and display
echo array_sum($matches[1]);
}
?>[/php]
