Clean NFO's to post on forums

whats the php-imdb link for? imdbphp is better

If you use Yawns leecher script a lot of the time you have to copy/paste the nfo from the post and it works with the sites that are leeched, so this is just to save time.

its 14 lines of code and im not good with coding, its not ment to be a full on converter

I just posted it to help people not to get bashed



just seen your post, it isnt working
Warning: preg_replace() [function.preg-replace]: Compilation failed: missing terminating ] for character class at offset 20 in /var/www/vhosts/xxxxxx/nfo.php on line 7

Ok, that would be a bug in the regular expression engine since that's a valid regex. If I move the escaped slash to the front it magically works.

<?
echo "<form method='post' action=''>"
 ."<textarea id='nfo' name='nfo' rows='15' cols='80' style='width: 100%'></textarea>"
 ."<input type='submit' name='go' value='Remove Shite' />"
 ."</form>";
if (isset($_POST['go'])) {
 $cleaned = preg_replace('/([^\\\w\d\s\-:.,\/]+)/', '', html_entity_decode($_POST['nfo']));
 // you don't need to do this in this case
 //$cleaned = preg_replace('/[ ]*(\r{0,1}\n)[ ]*/', '$1', $cleaned);
 $cleaned = preg_replace('/(ripper|supplier|genre|release date|theater date|source|aspect ratio|video format|video resolution|video bitrate|audio bitrate|runtime|rating|language|subtitle|substitle|dvd date|audio format|video aspect|video length|theatre date|framerate|video codec|audio codec|dir name|artist|album|year|retail|label|encoder|quality|grabber|ripped|video fps|imdb rating)/i', '[b]$1[/b]', $cleaned); 
 echo "<pre>".$cleaned."</pre>";
}
?>

I can't believe this language is still as buggy as it was 6 years ago.

I did try to use html_entity_decode, but got the same result as you get with that code.

the page is filled with numbers..
eg. 9604960496009600960096049604 so I tried using regex to remove them, then clean up whitespace, but the results wernt reliable so i ended up with the code i posted.

That would be a charset issue. Try:

html_entity_decode($_POST['nfo'], ENT_COMPAT, 'UTF-8') 

Or one of the other charsets: http://php.net/manual/en/function.ht...ity-decode.php

[Gavo]

The results are worse using that.

I did try using html_entity_decode with charsets and lots of different methods of cleaning the code using regex before dumping it & trying a different method and seeming im only using the code for a few NFO sites it works well enough for me


eg. i want to clean this up and post it on a site, the script cleans it up

See this is why after a while I really started hating PHP. It's a great language for the job but it's filled with tiny issues, bugs and design flaws. Unbelievable.

This thread is only a few lines of code and we already found:
- there's at least one bug in the regex parser
- the HTML decoder is flawed or has poor error compensating (or unsupported encoding)

All hail C#/.NET.

I have updated the 1st post with a working example, and stated that it will only work with nfo's for sites used by Yawns leecher.

I think that's the confusion, i didn't make this to work with full ascii nfos only for the sites i needed
