PHP - One Line If Statement Causing Me Big Issues?

Hi There,

I have an application that uses a Flash front end.   The user fills out a card.  The variables of that card are stored in an SQL Database and the recipient gets an email with a unique url to retrieve the card.

The problem I am faced with ... is that if the user hits their ENTER key while typing their message to create line breaks.. the line breaks are causing the SWFOBJECT Flash Embed to break.

The SWFOBJECT embed code looks like this
Quote

var flashvars = {
         yname: "<?php print "$yname";?>",
         yemail: "<?php print "$yemail";?>",
         fname: "<?php print "$fname";?>",
         femail: "<?php print "$femail";?>",
         greeting: "<?php print "$greeting";?>",
         message: "<?php print "$message";?>",
         fullname:"<?php print "$fullname";?>"
      };




The results look like this when data has been filled out

Quote

<script type="text/javascript">
      var params = {
         quality: "high",
         //scale: "ExactFit",
         wmode: "transparent",
         menu: "false",
         allowfullscreen: "true",
         allowscriptaccess: "always",
         bgcolor: "#014872"
      };
      var flashvars = {
         yname: "Jonathon",
         yemail: "name@email.com",
         fname: "TEST",
         femail: "jname@email.com",
         greeting: "TESTING",
         message: "Test
Test
Test",
         fullname:""
      };




You can see the line breaks whe

Test
Test
Test

Was typed.


Any ideas how to fix this ?

Please note that I have not changed any code or setting in over two months. This is new and very recent issuse.   I have SwiftMailer nad 1and1 hooked up so I can send emails when registrations are submitted. It has been working fine for months now with no problem. Today (or very recently) I am unable to send any emails from any 1and1 prediefined addresses. I get "Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'Swift_TransportException' with message 'Connection could not be established with host smtp.1and1.com [Connection timed out #110]'"   As mentioned earlier, no changes were made anywhere in two months. I have googled the issue, tried many "solutions" and nothing. I played arround with ports, addresses, passwords, tls, ssl, ... Any idea why this might be happening? I am thinking 1and1 has done something or "upgraded" something and it killed my emailing ability. I will call them, but people here are way smarter.   Thanks Pioneer

It DOES NOT any of this information for the wrestlers that DO NOT have a manager and if they do then it shows all as undefined variables. I know it has to do with the while statement I'm sure it's how its echoing the info and I don't know how to modify it so that I can echo the variable and if there's no value for the row then it shows N/A as its value.


function getWrestling($style, $id) {
$id=mysql_real_escape_string($id);
if ($style=='singles') { 
$query = "SELECT bio.charactername AS manager, ebw.finisher AS finisher, ebw.setup AS setup, ebw.music AS music FROM efed_bio_wrestling AS ebw JOIN efed_bio AS bio ON ( ebw.manager_id = bio.id) WHERE ebw.bio_id = '$id'";
$result = mysql_query($query) or die(mysql_error());
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)){
?>
<h2>Wrestling</h2>
<table class="biotable" cellspacing="10px">
<tr class="biotablerowb">
<td class="biotableheadingb">Manager/Valet:</td>
<td class="biotabledatab"><?php if (strlen ($manager) < 1) {  print "N/A"; } else { print "$manager";}?></td>
</tr>

<tr class="biotablerowb">
<td class="biotableheadingb">Finisher:</td>
<td class="biotabledatab"><?php if (strlen ($finisher) < 1) {  print "N/A"; } else { print "$finisher";}?></td>
</tr>

<tr class="biotablerowb">
<td class="biotableheadingb">Setup:</td>
<td class="biotabledatab"><?php if (strlen ($setup) < 1) {  print "N/A"; } else { print "$setup";}?></td>
</tr>

<tr class="biotablerowb">
<td class="biotableheadingb">Entrance Music:</td>
<td class="biotabledatab"><?php if (strlen ($music) < 1) {  print "N/A"; } else { print "$music";}?></td>
</tr>

Hey there,

Now usually after a while I can always solve bugs with my code but this one really has me at a halt here.

So basically I have a function that returns true if the accounts username = demo and false if it doesn't but the following if statement returns true and executes the code every time regardless of the returned value of the function like so:

Code: [Select]
if(isset($_POST['server_start']) or isset($_POST['server_stop']) or isset($_POST['server_restart']) && $Class['Account']->is_demo_account($_SESSION['account_id']) == false)


Now if I run the following code right above that:

Code: [Select]
if($Class['Account']->is_demo_account($_SESSION['account_id']) == false) echo "it isn't a demo account.";
else echo "it is a demo account.";

It will echo "it is a demo account" correctly. Now can somebody please tell me why the if statement with the post values in always return true.

Thanks for your time!
