PHP - Moved: Preg_replace To Remove Line Breaks Between Two Tags?

First problem fixed.
My second problem is if the result is 0X.XX,0 or 0X.XX,1 I would like to remove the first 0
The X.XX are numbers, but the 0 is not always there.

Can anyone help please

I'm trying to insert the contents of a textarea into a MySQL database but I am wondering what the best way is to preserve the users line breaks.  I know that you can use nl2br() to convert "\n" into "<br />" when the retrieve data from the database but I am looking at a way to insert these line breaks when I enter the data. 

Thanks for any help. 

Do anyone know how i can put the html tags in the same line as the other html tags?

Here's an example:

Code: [Select]
Images | Link | Delete | Enabled

On my code, it break the tags to the new line without put on the same line as the other tags.


Here's the code:

Code: [Select]
[code]<?php
session_start();
    define('DB_HOST', 'localhost');
    define('DB_USER', 'myusername');
    define('DB_PASSWORD', 'mypass');
    define('DB_DATABASE', 'mydbtable');

    $errmsg_arr = array();
    $errflag = false;

    $link = mysql_connect(DB_HOST, DB_USER, DB_PASSWORD);
    if(!$link) {
  die('Failed to connect to server: ' . mysql_error());
    }

    $db = mysql_select_db(DB_DATABASE);
    if(!$db) {
  die("Unable to select database");
    }

   function clean($var){

return mysql_real_escape_string(strip_tags($var));
    }

    $username = clean($_GET['user']);
    $password = clean($_GET['pass']);
    if($username == '') {
  $errmsg_arr[] = 'username ID missing';
  $errflag = true;
    }
    if($password == '') {
  $errmsg_arr[] = 'PASSWORD ID missing';
  $errflag = true;
    }

    if($errflag) {
  $_SESSION['ERRMSG_ARR'] = $errmsg_arr;
  echo implode('<br />',$errmsg_arr);
   }
   else {
  $qry="SELECT * FROM members WHERE username='$username' AND passwd='$password'";
  $result=mysql_query($qry) or die('Error:<br />' . $qry . '<br />' . mysql_error());

if(mysql_num_rows($result) > 0) {
  $qrytable1="SELECT images, id, public FROM members WHERE username='$username'";
  $result1=mysql_query($qrytable1) or die('Error:<br />' . $qry . '<br />' . mysql_error());

  while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result1)) {  
  echo '<p id="images"> <a href="images.php?id='.$row['id'].'">Images</a></td> | <a href="http://' .  $row["links"] . '">Link</a> </td> | <a href="delete.php?id='.$row['id'].'">Delete</a> </td> |  <p> <p id="test">'.$row['Public'].'</td>'';
  }
}
}
?>[/code]

I am using json_encode() to store an array of data as a string in a mysql data base.
I then extract the sting from the data base  and convert the back into an array using json_decode.

This works great up until I have any line breaks in any of the data.
When there is a line break, the json_decode() function chokes and returns nothing.

I would really like to keep the line breaks.

Has anyone come across this issue/have an suggestions/solutions?

Here's the code that I have:

Code: [Select]
<?php
if (get_magic_quotes_gpc()) {

function undoMagicQuotes($array, $topLevel=true) {

        $newArray = array();

foreach($array as $key => $value) {

if (!$topLevel) {

$key = stripslashes($key);

}
if (is_array($value)) {

$newArray[$key] = undoMagicQuotes($value, false);

} else {

                $newArray[$key] = stripslashes($value);

}

}

return $newArray;
    }

    $_GET = undoMagicQuotes($_GET);
    $_POST = undoMagicQuotes($_POST);
    $_COOKIE = undoMagicQuotes($_COOKIE);
    $_REQUEST = undoMagicQuotes($_REQUEST);

}



function safe($value){
    return mysql_real_escape_string($value);
} 

$subject1 = "It's just a test.";
$message1 =                               // $subject1 and message1 are actually submitted from a form on the page...
"Here's a test.                           // so this section would really be $subject = safe($_POST['subject']); same w/ message
                                          // I did it this way to simplify... I'm pretty sure it would be the same either way.
Thanks,
Me";  // this is what is typed in the text area of the form.

$subject = safe($subject1);
$message = safe($message1);

?>

When these variables are mailed using php mail(), they display like this:

Code: [Select]
Subject: It\'s just a test.

Message: Here\'s a test.\r\n\r\nThanks,\r\nMe
When they are inserted into a database, they are inserted correctly, as they were typed.  My question is this: Is there a way to mail these and have them display correctly?  Should I just insert them into the database, then select them again to mail?  Thanks for any help.

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. 

hello guys, suppose I want to echo out the text given below exactly as what has been set against, including the line breaks. How do I do it? coz each time i did it so, there s no line breaks but the output is usually a dense lump of words with no paragraphs.
Code: [Select]
I took her out it was a Friday night
I wore cologne to get the feeling right
We started making out and she took off my pants
But then I turned on the TV

And that's about the time she walked away from me
Nobody likes you when you're 23
I'm still more amused by TV shows
What the hell is ADD?
My friends say I should act my age
What's my age again?
What's my age again?
please help


P.S.
The whole set of phrase give above are treated as a single variable coz I use a WHILE loops when making an echo.
tthanks

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.

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

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?

Hey I am trying to write to a csv file with the data in my database.  My problem I am having is that when I echo out to the browser everything is fine, but when I try writing to the file I get a lot of line breaks and that throws everything off for the csv file.

Here's my code:
Code: [Select]
$query = "SELECT * FROM $table";
$result = mysql_query($query);
$numcolumns = mysql_num_fields($result);
$numrows = mysql_num_rows($result);

$file = "testFile.csv";
$fh = fopen($file, 'w') or die("can't open file");

while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
{

for($i = 0; $i <= ($numcolumns - 1); $i++)
{
if($i < ($numcolumns - 1))
{
$string = $row[$i] . ",";
echo $string;
fwrite($fh, $string);
}
else
{
$string = $row[$i];
echo $string;
fwrite($fh, $string);
}
}
$string = "\n";
echo "<br />";
fwrite($fh, $string);
}

fclose($fh);
My output to the browser looks like this for one record.. which is how it should look:
(Had to edit the content a bit for confidential reasons)
Code: [Select]
######,12/31/99 ,123 Drive,City,TX ,##### ,County
And here is what I get in the csv file when I open it up on notepad:
Code: [Select]
######,12/31/99
,123 Drive
,City
,TX
,#####
,County
Any idea where these line breaks are coming from?  Is it because the data is being pulled from a database?  Any help on how to fix this would be great!! Thanks.

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 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.
