Code for cleaning up common U.S. addresses prior to DB insertion.

$_val is an address string.

e.g. '21325 nE fAirfIELD Ln.' => '21325 NE Fairfield Lane'

My regexp skills are not that great...any suggestions/additions welcome.

[php:1:f9d161e3e0]
function smarty_modifier_format_address($_val) {

$_my_array = explode(" ", strtolower($_val));

while (list($_k,$_v)=each($_my_array))
{
//directional abbreviations

//N
if (preg_match("/^n[\.]?$/i",$_v))
{
$_my_array[$_k] = "N";
}
//NE
if (preg_match("/^ne[\.]?$/i",$_v))
{
$_my_array[$_k] = "NE";
}
//E
if (preg_match("/^e[\.]?$/i",$_v))
{
$_my_array[$_k] = "E";
}
//SE
if (preg_match("/^se[\.]?$/i",$_v))
{
$_my_array[$_k] = "SE";
}
//S
if (preg_match("/^s[\.]?$/i",$_v))
{
$_my_array[$_k] = "S";
}
//SW
if (preg_match("/^sw[\.]?$/i",$_v))
{
$_my_array[$_k] = "SW";
}
//W
if (preg_match("/^w[\.]?$/i",$_v))
{
$_my_array[$_k] = "W";
}
//NW
if (preg_match("/^nw[\.]?$/i",$_v))
{
$_my_array[$_k] = "NW";
}

//street abbreviations

//street
if (preg_match("/^st[r]?[\.]?$/i",$_v))
{
$_my_array[$_k] = "street";
}

//lane
if (preg_match("/^ln[\.]?$/i",$_v))
{
$_my_array[$_k] = "lane";
}

//road
if (preg_match("/^rd[\.]?$/i",$_v))
{
$_my_array[$_k] = "road";
}

//way
if (preg_match("/^wy[\.]?$/i",$_v))
{
$_my_array[$_k] = "way";
}

//court
if (preg_match("/^ct[\.]?$/i",$_v))
{
$_my_array[$_k] = "court";
}
}

$_val = ucwords(implode(" ", $_my_array));

return $_val;

}
