[PHP-DEV] Parse search string a la Google (Regular expression?) From: Benny Rasmussen (osteslag <email protected>)
Date: 11/27/02

Hi,

In my application I would like to offer a search interface like Google and
other popular search engines. The complication for me is to explode the
search string into proper array elements, like this:

$search_str = "\"search for this sentence\" -NotForThisWord
ButDefinitelyForThisWord";

$array[0]: "search for this sentence"
$array[1]: "-NotForThisWord"
$array[2]: "ButDefinitelyForThisWord"

I have tried to use regular expressions but my case seems to be a bit more
complicated for this (?).

Does anybody have a code snippet, a class or something, that can help me
with this?

Thanks in advance,
Joachim
