Question

I have a varchar field in my db which contains :

 "<?php     
     $html = 'abc' ;    
     $ad_content = Agencies_anonymous::getAd($html);    
     echo $ad_content;
  ?>"

Now , in my code, I have to read this field value and get the value of the variable $html

.What would be the apt way to do this ?

Supposedly , I have extracted the field value as a string(*$html_string*) in my code .

What will be the appropiate regular expression that I should apply for this ? Or , is there any robust method using string functions ?

Answer 1

Are you using php to do this? Does the statement always look exactly like this?

$code.split("'")[1] 

would get it
or

$codeSegs = $code.split(' ');
foreach($i = 0; $i <  $codeSegs.length; $i++)
 if ($codeSegs[$i] == "$html")
   return $codeSeg[$i+2].split("'")[1];
