String Replace for 8000 Company Names Iteration with PHP (Slug)












0












$begingroup$


I wrote most of this working and beginner PHP script and I'd appreciate it if you would possibly review it and help me to replace slugCompany method (which only iterates ~8000 times) in the UpdateStocks class with a faster or simpler method. Thank You So Mcuh!



Method:



/**

* 

* @return a string of company name without common words to be embedded in the URL

*/

public static function slugCompany($c){

    $c=strtolower($c);

    $c=preg_replace('/[^da-zs]/i', '', $c);

    $words=self::COMPANY_STOPWORDS;

    $c=preg_replace('/b('.$words.')b/i', '', $c);

    $c=preg_replace('/(s+)/i', '-', trim($c));

    return $c; 

}


Constant:




const COMPANY_STOPWORDS = '11000th|american|and|a|beneficial|bond|b|class|common|company|corporation|corp|commodity|cumulative|co|c|daily|dep|depositary|depository|debentures|diversified|due|d|each|etf|equal|equity|exchange|e|financial|fund|fixedtofloating|fixed|floating|f|group|g|healthcare|holdings|holding|h|inc|incorporated|interests|interest|in|index|income|i|junior|j|k|liability|limited|lp|llc|ltd|long|l|markets|maturity|municipal|muni|monthly|m|noncumulative|notes|no|n|of|one|or|o|portfolio|pay|partnership|partner|par|perpetual|per|perp|pfd|preference|preferred|p|q|redeemable|repstg|representing|represents|rate|r|sa|smallcap|series|shs|shares|share|short|stock|subordinated|ser|senior|s|the|three|term|to|traded|trust|two|t|ultrashort|ultra|u|value|v|warrant|weight|w|x|y|z';




Call:



$cn=strtolower(UpdateStocks::slugCompany($s["quote"]["companyName"])); // slug company

      I wrote most of this working and beginner PHP script and I'd appreciate it if you would possibly review it and help me to replace slugCompany method (which only iterates ~8000 times) in the UpdateStocks class with a faster or simpler method. Thank You So Mcuh!



      Method:



      /**
      
* 
      
* @return a string of company name without common words to be embedded in the URL
      
*/
      
public static function slugCompany($c){
      
    $c=strtolower($c);
      
    $c=preg_replace('/[^da-zs]/i', '', $c);
      
    $words=self::COMPANY_STOPWORDS;
      
    $c=preg_replace('/b('.$words.')b/i', '', $c);
      
    $c=preg_replace('/(s+)/i', '-', trim($c));
      
    return $c; 
      
}


      Constant:




      const COMPANY_STOPWORDS = '11000th|american|and|a|beneficial|bond|b|class|common|company|corporation|corp|commodity|cumulative|co|c|daily|dep|depositary|depository|debentures|diversified|due|d|each|etf|equal|equity|exchange|e|financial|fund|fixedtofloating|fixed|floating|f|group|g|healthcare|holdings|holding|h|inc|incorporated|interests|interest|in|index|income|i|junior|j|k|liability|limited|lp|llc|ltd|long|l|markets|maturity|municipal|muni|monthly|m|noncumulative|notes|no|n|of|one|or|o|portfolio|pay|partnership|partner|par|perpetual|per|perp|pfd|preference|preferred|p|q|redeemable|repstg|representing|represents|rate|r|sa|smallcap|series|shs|shares|share|short|stock|subordinated|ser|senior|s|the|three|term|to|traded|trust|two|t|ultrashort|ultra|u|value|v|warrant|weight|w|x|y|z';




      Call:



      $cn=strtolower(UpdateStocks::slugCompany($s["quote"]["companyName"])); // slug company

      I wrote most of this working and beginner PHP script and I'd appreciate it if you would possibly review it and help me to replace slugCompany method (which only iterates ~8000 times) in the UpdateStocks class with a faster or simpler method. Thank You So Mcuh!



      Method:



      /**
      
* 
      
* @return a string of company name without common words to be embedded in the URL
      
*/
      
public static function slugCompany($c){
      
    $c=strtolower($c);
      
    $c=preg_replace('/[^da-zs]/i', '', $c);
      
    $words=self::COMPANY_STOPWORDS;
      
    $c=preg_replace('/b('.$words.')b/i', '', $c);
      
    $c=preg_replace('/(s+)/i', '-', trim($c));
      
    return $c; 
      
}


      Constant:




      const COMPANY_STOPWORDS = '11000th|american|and|a|beneficial|bond|b|class|common|company|corporation|corp|commodity|cumulative|co|c|daily|dep|depositary|depository|debentures|diversified|due|d|each|etf|equal|equity|exchange|e|financial|fund|fixedtofloating|fixed|floating|f|group|g|healthcare|holdings|holding|h|inc|incorporated|interests|interest|in|index|income|i|junior|j|k|liability|limited|lp|llc|ltd|long|l|markets|maturity|municipal|muni|monthly|m|noncumulative|notes|no|n|of|one|or|o|portfolio|pay|partnership|partner|par|perpetual|per|perp|pfd|preference|preferred|p|q|redeemable|repstg|representing|represents|rate|r|sa|smallcap|series|shs|shares|share|short|stock|subordinated|ser|senior|s|the|three|term|to|traded|trust|two|t|ultrashort|ultra|u|value|v|warrant|weight|w|x|y|z';




      Call:



      $cn=strtolower(UpdateStocks::slugCompany($s["quote"]["companyName"])); // slug company
