PHP - Php Line Breaks

I have developed the following code, which queries a MySQL database and returns multiple results using several WHILE loops:

Code: [Select]
<?php 
# if submit_hash is present, then pull up the attendance from specified hash
if($_GET['submit_hash'])
{
# select all the hashers from the specified hash
$query = "
SELECT
h.*,
ha.*
FROM
hashes as h,
hashers as ha,
hash_records as hr
WHERE
hr.hash_id = " . $_GET['hash_id'] . "
&& hr.hash_id = h.hash_id 
&& hr.hasher_id = ha.hasher_id
ORDER BY
ha.hasher_name ";

$result = mysql_query($query) or die('Error selecting Hash attendance.');

$x = 1;


while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
{
if($x == 1)
{
echo '<strong>' . $row['hash_num'] . ' ' . $row['hash_name'] . ' - ' . date("D, d M Y", strtotime($row['hash_date'])) . '</strong><em>Total Hashers: ' . mysql_num_rows($result) . '</em>';

$x++;
}


# see if this person was the hare
if($row['hare_id'] == $row['hasher_id'] || $row['hare2_id'] == $row['hasher_id'] || $row['hare3_id'] == $row['hasher_id'])
{ $hare = '- hare';
         }
else {
$hare = '';
}
echo $row['hasher_name'] . ' <b>' . $hare . '</b>';
}
} else if($_GET['submit_hasher']) 


{ 
# if submit_hasher is present, pull up all of their hashes and aliases

# select all the hashes that this person has attended
$a_query = "
SELECT
h.*,
ha.*
FROM
hashes as h,
hashers as ha,
hash_records as hr
WHERE
hr.hash_id = h.hash_id &&
hr.hasher_id = ha.hasher_id &&
hr.hasher_id = " . $_GET['hasher_id'] . "
ORDER BY
h.hash_date DESC ";

$a_result = mysql_query($a_query) or die('Error selecting the person\'s Hashes . ');

$x = 1;

while($a_row = mysql_fetch_array($a_result))
{
if($x == 1)
{
echo '<strong>Hash Attendance Record For ' . $a_row['hasher_name'] . '</strong> <em>(' . mysql_num_rows($a_result) . ' total hashes)</em>';

$x++;
}
echo '#' . $a_row['hash_num'].' ' . $a_row['hash_name'] . ' on ' . date("D, d M Y", strtotime($a_row['hash_date']));


# see if this person was a hare
if($a_row['hasher_id'] == $a_row['hare_id'] || $a_row['hasher_id'] == $a_row['hare2_id'] || $a_row['hasher_id'] == $a_row['hare3_id'])
{
echo ' - <b>hare</b>';
}
echo '';
}
echo '';
}

echo '

<table width="100%">
<br />
<tbody>
<tr>
<br />
<td>
';

?>


The problem is that everything that is returned from the WHILE loops is displayed in a single line.  However, I want the data displayed with a line break between each result, like this:

Header
Return 1 from WHILE loop
Return 2 from WHILE loop
Return 3 from WHLIE loop

How do I need to modify the code to make it display appropriately?

I have a form which has a textarea in it.  When the form is submitted the contents are submitted to a MySQL database and the contents or the textarea are stored in a text variable.  What is the best was to preserve line breaks in the textarea?  At the moment if the user enters to separate paragraphs into the textarea they will be merged into one.  Thanks for any help. 

I am constructing an XML file with PHP. I read information from a template XML file and then add elements and save it.

The line breaks from the template are preserved in the saved file, but all the new elements are on one line. Is there a way to break them up so it is easier to read the file?

Here is the original template:
Code: [Select]
<InternationalShippingServiceOption>
  <ShippingService> token </ShippingService>
  <ShippingServiceAdditionalCost currencyID="CurrencyCodeType"> AmountType (double) </ShippingServiceAdditionalCost>
  <ShippingServiceCost currencyID="CurrencyCodeType"> AmountType (double) </ShippingServiceCost>
  <ShippingServicePriority> int </ShippingServicePriority>
</InternationalShippingServiceOption>
Here is the saved information (all the ShipToLocation elements on one line):
Code: [Select]
<InternationalShippingServiceOption>
  <ShippingService>StandardInternational</ShippingService>
  <ShippingServiceAdditionalCost currencyID="CurrencyCodeType">26.994</ShippingServiceAdditionalCost>
  <ShippingServiceCost currencyID="CurrencyCodeType">44.99</ShippingServiceCost>
  <ShippingServicePriority>2</ShippingServicePriority>
<ShipToLocation>BE</ShipToLocation><ShipToLocation>FR</ShipToLocation><ShipToLocation>IE</ShipToLocation><ShipToLocation>LU</ShipToLocation><ShipToLocation>MC</ShipToLocation><ShipToLocation>NL</ShipToLocation><ShipToLocation>GB</ShipToLocation><ShipToLocation>DE</ShipToLocation><ShipToLocation>IT</ShipToLocation></InternationalShippingServiceOption>
I am using the $doc->formatOutput = true; option.

Hi All,

I am exporting data to excel, but run into a problem if the text contains a line break.  When it gets to the line break, it cuts off the rest of the text.

Here is my printer code:

Code: [Select]
$file = 'Notes_Export';
$csv_output = array();


$tmp = array();
$tmp[] = 'Created On';
$tmp[] = 'Created By';
$tmp[] = 'Note';

$csv_output[] = '"' . implode('","', $tmp) . '"';

$sql  = "SELECT pn.created_on, CONCAT( u.firstname,' ', u.lastname) AS created_by, pn.note FROM prop_notes pn LEFT JOIN users u ON pn.created_by = u.user_id ";
$sql .= "WHERE pn.deleted_by IS NULL AND pn.archive = '0' AND pn.property_id = '".$_GET['pid']."'";
      $result = mysqli_query($connect, $sql);

         while($rowr = mysqli_fetch_row($result))
         {
$tmp = array();
for ($j=0; $j<3; $j++) {$tmp[] = $rowr[$j];}
$csv_output[] = '"' . implode('","', $tmp) . '"';
         }


$filename = $file."_".date("Y-m-d_H-i",time());
header("Content-type: application/vnd.ms-excel");
header("Content-disposition: csv" . date("Y-m-d") . ".csv");
// header( "Content-disposition: filename=".$filename.".csv");
header("Content-disposition: attachment; filename=".$filename.".csv");
print implode("\n",$csv_output) . "\n";
exit;

I have a simple contact form with a textarea field, where the visitor can type a message in. However, if the user enters paragraphs or any type of line breaks, then the email that is sent shows the "\r\n" characters. I've tried using the nl2br function to no avail. Here's a sample code snippet:

Code: [Select]
$message = $_POST["message"];

// To send HTML mail, the Content-type header must be set
$headers  = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n";

// Additional headers
$headers .= 'From: '. $_POST["email"];

mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);


Am I missing something? Besides the "\r\n" characters showing, everything else works fine.

Hi

My problem is that text that is in my database are showing up next to each other in a line rather than on seperate lines, normally I would have just used <br> but as it's generated from my sql I don't know how to do it.

Code: [Select]
<ul id="headlines">

<?php foreach ( $results['articles'] as $article ) { ?>

<a href=".?action=viewArticle&amp;articleId=<?php echo $article->id?>"><?php echo htmlspecialchars( $article->title )?></a>

<?php } ?>

      </ul>

Anyone have any idea? Thanks

Hi all,

I'm currently rewriting our contact us form using the php Pear Mail package. It allows both html based emails and text based emails, and displays the relevant version based on the end recipients broswer capabilities.

I have the html version working perfect, however the text based version spits out the whole message without line breaks. Since some of the computers in our building only except text emails (due to security) it needs to be laid out so that it is legible. I've searched around and tried various options but the emails are still arriving without breaks.

So as an example:

A User Inputs the following message using a textarea on the php form:

Hi there,

Great website, need help with such and such though.

Regards

Bob


The email message gets collected and included in a html message. Then a duplicate text based message is made like so (Code so far):

Code: [Select]
$plaintxt = '-----------------------------------------' . "\n";
$plaintxt .= Website Enquiry' . "\n";
$plaintxt .= '-----------------------------------------' . "\n";
$plaintxt .= 'A visitor to our website has submitted the following enquiry:' . "\n\n";
$plaintxt .= 'Name: ' . $visitor_name . "\n";
$plaintxt .= 'Company Name: ' . $visitor_companyname . "\n";
$plaintxt .= 'Email Address: ' .  $visitor_email . "\n";
$plaintxt .= 'Telephone Number: ' . $message_telephone . "\n\n";
$plaintxt .= 'Subject of Enquiry: ' . $msg_subject . "\n";
$plaintxt .= 'Enquiry: ' . "\n\n";
$plaintxt .= $message_body . "\n\n";
$plaintxt .= '-----------------------------------------' . "\n\n";
$plaintxt .= 'User IP Address:' . $ip . "\n";
$plaintxt .= 'User Browser Info:' . $httpagent . "\n";
$plaintxt .= 'Date/Time Submitted:' . $time . "\n";

$crlf = "\n";
$headers = array('From' => $contact_from_email, 'Return-Path' => $contact_from, 'Subject' => $subject, 'To' => $contact_to);
       
// Creating the Mime message
$mime = new Mail_mime($crlf);
       
// Setting the body of the email
$mime->setTXTBody($htmlmessage); //Text version of the email
$mime->setHTMLBody($plaintxt); // HTML version of the email

 "\n"; - These were suggested by users on the pear mail manual.

Then once sent and opened you'd expect to see:

Quote

However when opened in all the email applications I have (Outlook, Gmail, Live Mail, Hotmail, Yahoo) it looks like this:

Yet if you look at the source of the email. The line breaks are there. Am I missing something?

  No idea how to add a new line so it's easier to read in the terminal. Debugging this way is absolutely horrible.

Hi, I want to remove all extra spaces and line breaks that I have in my PHP, HTML, CSS and JavaScript files, to reduce the file size, I do not want to go through 100+ files and do this manually. Is there a PHP script that would do this? Any suggestions where I should start looking?

Thanks

what im trying to do is take a youtube embed code find the URL code for that video and remove all other parts of the code keeping only the URL of the video
after i get the URL by it self then replace the http://www.youtube.com/ part of the URL with http://i2.ytimg.com/vi/

to do this i know that i need something like this to get the URL of the video
http://www.youtube.com/((?:v|cp)/[A-Za-z0-9\-_=]+)
but how to only return just the URL is something idk how to do

then use str_replace http://www.youtube.com/(?:v|cp)/" with  http://i2.ytimg.com/vi/

so in the end im asking if anyone know how to remove all other codes i dont want  and only keep the URL


this may have to be done using "regex" im not sure as i dont know to much about regex and what it can do but does sound like it would help lol

Dear All

           Good Day, i am new to PHP (a beautiful server side scripting language). i want to send a mail with line by line message i tried with different types like by placing the things in table and using  <br /> but the thing is the tags are also visible in the message of the mail.

Here is my code:

$message1  = "Name       :".  $_REQUEST['name']."<br />";
$message1 .= "Surname    :".  $_REQUEST['surname']."<br />";
$message1 .= "Cellphone  :".  $_REQUEST['mobileno']."<br />";
$message1 .= "Telephone  :".  $_REQUEST['landno']."<br />";
$message1 .= "Fax        :".  $_REQUEST['fax']."<br />";
$message1 .= "Company    :".  $_REQUEST['company']."<br />";
$message1 .= "Email      :".  $_REQUEST['email']."<br />";
$message1 .= "Country    :".  $_REQUEST['country']."<br />";
$message1 .= "Enquity    :".  $_REQUEST['enquiry']."<br />";
$message1 .= "Date&Time  :".  $date."<br />";

For this code if try to print/echo it it is working fine it is displaying line by line, but using this variable ($message1) in the mail these <br /> are also visible.
Can any one guide me to resolve(to remove these tags from the message part) this issue.
Thanks in Advance. :confused:
