Currently the only global PHP command I know is:
<?=$text_items?>
This spits:
1 item(s) - £318.75
I want to get the 318.75
value so at the moment I am trying a replace but it is not working all smoothly:
$short = $text_items;
$short = str_replace("£", "", $short);
$short = str_replace("£", "", $short);
$short = str_replace("-", "", $short);
$short = str_replace("–", "", $short);
$short = str_replace(" ", "", $short);
$short = str_replace("-", "", $short);
$short = str_replace("ITEMS", "", $short);
$short = str_replace("(", "", $short);
$short = str_replace(")", "", $short);
$short = str_replace("item(s)", "", $short);
$short = str_replace("ITEM", "", $short);

$total = @floatval(end(explode('£', html_entity_decode($text_items))));
html_entity_decode
changes £
to £
end(explode('£'
is giving you string after '£
' characterfloatval
is valuating string to float.E_STRICT
error which occurs to passing constant in end()
function.Second solution is Regexp:
preg_match_all('!\d+(?:\.\d+)?!', $text_items, $result);
echo $result[1];
