PHP - String Formatting

I am having a problem with what is probably encoding.

I am pulling strings from a WordPress database.  Below is a sample string:


Code: [Select]
Sed nec neque quis sapien scelerisque aliquet. In in est odio, ac auctor erat. Vestibulum fringilla dapibus sodales. Morbi facilisis egestas arcu, eu semper mi luctus vitae. Cum sociis natoque penatibus et magnis dis parturient montes, nascetur ridiculus mus. Suspendisse sollicitudin, metus sed hendrerit tristique, enim ante venenatis metus, ac consectetur mauris lorem et felis. Phasellus ac purus massa. Aliquam ligula mauris, iaculis et posuere vitae, pellentesque sit amet leo.

Praesent at eros et lacus scelerisque feugiat. Aliquam non facilisis libero. Ut blandit leo ut tortor convallis porttitor. Aliquam erat volutpat. Aliquam rhoncus rutrum metus, tempor sollicitudin ante laoreet in.

Sed tincidunt nibh a augue euismod sagittis. Fusce ullamcorper ultricies nisi, sit amet elementum mi scelerisque eget. Cras sed elit ligula, sit amet aliquam lectus. Nulla vel mollis nibh. Pellentesque ultricies, dui non aliquam eleifend, tortor ligula blandit dolor, quis interdum diam augue non eros. Nullam id molestie nunc. Integer id tempus est.

When WordPress displays this text, it is formatted correctly, with spaces between paragraphs, etc.

When I pull the string from the database, and echo it onto a page, the spaces between paragraphs are replaced by spaces, so in the end the output is as follows:


Code: [Select]
Sed nec neque quis sapien scelerisque aliquet. In in est odio, ac auctor erat. Vestibulum fringilla dapibus sodales. Morbi facilisis egestas arcu, eu semper mi luctus vitae. Cum sociis natoque penatibus et magnis dis parturient montes, nascetur ridiculus mus. Suspendisse sollicitudin, metus sed hendrerit tristique, enim ante venenatis metus, ac consectetur mauris lorem et felis. Phasellus ac purus massa. Aliquam ligula mauris, iaculis et posuere vitae, pellentesque sit amet leo.  Praesent at eros et lacus scelerisque feugiat. Aliquam non facilisis libero. Ut blandit leo ut tortor convallis porttitor. Aliquam erat volutpat. Aliquam rhoncus rutrum metus, tempor sollicitudin ante laoreet in. Sed tincidunt nibh a augue euismod sagittis. Fusce ullamcorper ultricies nisi, sit amet elementum mi scelerisque eget. Cras sed elit ligula, sit amet aliquam lectus. Nulla vel mollis nibh. Pellentesque ultricies, dui non aliquam eleifend, tortor ligula blandit dolor, quis interdum diam augue non eros. Nullam id molestie nunc. Integer id tempus est.

What can I do to follow WordPress' formatting?

Hi,

I have a textarea called registerDomain which i enter multiple domain names into (separated by a new line) e.g.

www.google.com www.sky.com www.bt.com

I have the following code to get each of the domains and format them like

google.com (lowercase without any spaces) sky.com (lowercase without any spaces) bt.com (lowercase without any spaces)

The below code I have works perfectly, however its awful to look at. I wondered if anyone could advise on a cleaner/more elegant way of achieving this.

Thanks,

	if (isset($_POST['submit'])) {
		$values = trim($_POST['registerDomain']);
		$array = explode("\n", $values);
		$array = array_filter($array, 'trim');
		
		foreach ($array as $line) {
			$domain = addslashes($line);
			$domain = preg_replace("/\r|\n/", "", $domain);
			$domain = strtolower($domain);
			$domain = str_replace("www.", "", $domain);
			$domain = str_replace(" ", "", $domain);

 

I am trying to insert a variable into this post string:

curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, 'p_entity_name=The+Company+Name+LLC&p_name_type=A&p_search_type=BEGINS');

I want to replace company name with $name

like: curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, 'p_entity_name='+ $name + 'p_name_type=A&p_search_type=BEGINS');

Hi Guys,

I have got a date string which looks like the following:
Quote

Thu Feb 09 2012 07:25:00 GMT 0000 (GMT Standard Time)


I need to convert it to Quote

d-m-Y H:i

format.

Any ideas on how to do this?

Thanks!
