PHP - Question Marks Instead Of Letters !

While playing with some code, I wrote these few lines of script.

$_SESSION["favcolor"] = green;

echo "Session variable is ". $_SESSION["favcolor"] ;

I tested the code and everything worked fine.
But then, I noticed an error in my coding: I had accidentally forgotten the QUOTES around the word GREEN.

I corrected the code

$_SESSION["favcolor"] = "green";

But when I tested it, the page would not open/load.

Then I removed the quote marks and restored the line to it's original state
 

$_SESSION["favcolor"] = green;

And things worked fine.

Shouldn't the quote marks be required?
Why am I having this issue?
Is it really an issue, or should I just accept that it works WITHOUT the quotes and be satisfied with that result?

hello, i have this text file attached, and I am currently extracting the data from it.
and yeah, I know how..but the problem is the double quotation marks.
the last double quotation mark doesn't go away,,,am also aware that trim()
only accepts strings. but how come, it does remove  the first double quotation mark
and leave the 2nd one.
here's my script, feel free to download the file and try my script in your own localhost
and tell me what's wrong . Thanks in advance


$fh = fopen('iso3166.txt','r');
while(!feof($fh))
{
  $lines = fgets($fh);
  $parts = explode(",",$lines);
  print trim($parts[1],'"')."<br />";

}
fclose($fh);

Hi, I am somewhat new to PHP but I have a little experience. I am having trouble coding this script to set variables with extra quotations and replacing some exploded strings. Here is the script.

Code: [Select]
<?php
$ToCutDown = "[{"parentMessageId":-1,"message":"%3Ca%20href%3D%27%23%27%20class%3D%27standardLink%27%20onclick%3D%27showMobStats%28674542538%29%3B%27%3Eaka%20Bubbles%3C%2Fa%3E%20broadcast%20a%20message%3A%20%3Cfont%20color%3D%27red%27%3E%22Place%20Bounty%20on%20%26quot%3Baka%20Bubbles%26quot%3B%20%28Minimum%20of%20%2418%2C107%2C899%2C000%29%22%3C%2Ffont%3E%2E","id":28152301,"";

$Exploded = explode("[{"parentMessageId":-1,"message":"", $ToCutDown);
$Exploded = explode(","id":28152301,"", $Exploded[0]);
$Exploded = urldecode($Exploded[1]);

$StringReplace = str_replace("<a href='#' class='standardLink' onclick='showMobStats(674542538);'>", "", $Exploded);

?>

So I'm trying to work with specific strings that have quotation marks in them (Which cannot be removed) & I'm having a hard time using them in variables and in any function that requires you to choose parameters with either ' ' or " ".

Any suggestions would be appreciated thanks


MOD EDIT: [code] . . . [/code] tags added.

Hi all... once again I am trying to re-educate my self into PHP after a long gap.

I do not have a problem as such just a question... here is part of my script that doesnot work;


<?

       $sql= "INSERT INTO member (

        username,
        email
    )
VALUES (
        \"$_SESSION['nm_username']\",
        \"$_SESSION['nm_email']\"


)";

?>



The above errors because there are single quotation marks in the session variables. When I remove them the script works and the values of the variables seem to be correct!

My question is - do I NEED the quotation marks in the variable and if so how should I write the query?

Regards

Hi all,


I have an issue on a form that when it gets submitted a slash '/' appears before every quote symbol.
I had help solving the issue on one of the fields (the name field), but then later it was discovered that the slashes appear in all the fields whenever a quote was used (agreed, poor testing).

Can someone be so good to help me solve this? My php knowledge is not so great which is exactly why I'm asking here
Please see my code below. If this problem can be solved in the same manner as the name field was solved, then there are 2 files which will need the edits. They are below:

Hi All,

I have a html form that I can submit using php, which then enters information into a database. This works fine when the text is just standard text - for example "the cat is on the mat". But if I put in "the cat's on the mat" - then the speach mark throws an error up!

Is there any way around this?

Thanks
Matt

I embed videos on my site. I submit the embed codes to my database using a form. The codes look like this:

<iframe width="560" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/xDIgbjDGsOM?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Before I submit each code, I have to change its width and height, and I have to add this:

&showinfo=0

after this:

?rel=0

Is there a function that will allow me to do all of that simultaneously?   I know about str_ireplace(). It will let me replace ?rel=0 with ?rel=0&showinfo=0, but I don't know how to simultaneously make the other changes.   It's not helping that the embed code includes quotation marks.

How in php using the preg_replace php function can i allow only the basic english a-z letters, numbers 0-9 and unicode code letters and remove anything else?

Hi Guys   I have a regex conundrum that at first I thought would be very easy but then appears to be quite hard :/   I want to match a string with a regex where the regex can only pass if it contains letters and numbers (nothing else) and it has to contain at least one of each.   I've been trying out lookaheads but just can't get it right.     Any help is appreciated.    Drongo

Hello

http://www.yahoo.com
http://www.phpfreaks.com

i whant to echo  11,12,13 letter only  ***********goo******
but i whant to show and count the *******

how can i do this? any idea?

Does anyone knows if FPDF supports Norwegian letters or not? When I write codes of letters it is not showing letter. Are there any command to specify charset?
For example in this code is it possible to specify charset?

$pdf=new FPDF();
$pdf->AddPage();

$pdf->SetFont('Arial','',14);
$pdf->Write(5,'F&#248lgende ');

I'm looking for a function that will check a string for letters and spaces...boolean preferibly

Would someone tell me how to allow foreign letters, normal english letters and numbers using the preg_replace php function?

I need users to input ONLY  numbers or letters with numbers.  How can i go about fixing that.


Thank you.

My script forces all names to start with a capital and lower case for the rest.  However, some names have a ' or - in them.

For example:

Rosie O'Donnell

or

Carrie-Anne Moss

With the script, the "D" in O'Donnell is lower case and the "A" in Anne is lower case.

What do I need to do to make them capital?

Here is what I am using:

Code: [Select]
<?php echo ucwords(strtolower($row_persons['last_name'])) ?>, <?php echo ucwords(strtolower($row_persons['first_name'])) ?>
