PHP - Split Up Large Html File Based On Html Tags?

Say I have the following text stored in a MySQL database...

Code: [Select]
<b>Classic Quote from movie</b>
and I retrieve it into a variable called $text, how do I properly echo that so that it keeps the bold tags and actually display the text "Classic quote from movie" in BOLD?

I'm doing something wrong somewhere along the line (simply doing "echo $text;") because it displays on the page as...

Code: [Select]
<b>Classic Quote from movie</b>

Instead of...

Classic Quote from movie

Any info on properly storing and echoing back HTML would be very appreciated.

Yes, it's a homework assignment. No, I'm not trying to cheat, so pointing me somewhere is better than just feeding me code, like, "look up how to blah blah" or tell me what I've got wrong?

I'm trying to parse a text file of the constitution, add header and <p> tags depending on the first word of the paragraph, then print to an html page. I know I'm supposed to create a function that will return a paragraph, and another function that will return the first word of a paragraph.

This is my code, and it completely does not work (obviously I've not included the external html tags)


<?php
// Opens the constitution text file.
$const = fopen("constitution.txt","r");

//Returns an entire paragraph
function getParagraph($myfile) {
  while (!feof($myfile)){
    $line = file_get_contents($myfile);
    $paragraph = explode("\n",$line);
  }
  return $paragraph;
}

//Returns the first word of a paragraph
function getFirstWord($myfile) {
 $pg = getParagraph($myfile);
 $word = explode(" ",$pg);
 Return $word[0];
}

// Runs through some if statements to determine the tags to use

if (getFirstWord($const) === "Article"){
echo "<h2> getParagraph($const)</h2>";
}
elseif (getFirstWord($const) === "Section"){
echo "<h3> getParagraph($const)</h3>";
}
elseif (getFirstWord($const) === "Amendment"){
echo "<h3> getParagraph($const)</h3>";
}
elseif (getFirstWord($const) === "We the People"){
echo "<em> getParagraph($const) </em>";
}
else{
echo "<p> getParagraph($const) </p>";
}

fclose($const);
?>

Hey Guys. I am trying to write to an HTML and attach that file for an efax API. One of the file types they accept is HTML, but it has to be in a <base> tag format. I am a little confused on how to do that. I tried to use fopen with the base tag but it didn't seem to work for me. I got the following error   Warning: fopen(<base a href='96401.html'></base>) [function.fopen]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory   Ideally what I am trying to accomplish is creating a file that just says 96401.html.   Below is the code that I have tried it with. Any help would be really appreciated!!!

$orderFile = "<base a href='".$id.".html'></base>"; // File name to be created. order id is used as a file name e.g. 123456.html
	//$fh = fopen($orderFile, 'w') or die("can't open file"); // Create and Save the writeable File
	//fwrite($fh, $order_information); // Write email contents to created file.

Hi

Still very new to PHP but getting some good use out of it with includes.

I'm currently using this code to check the file name of the page and then give the corresponding anchor tag a class of active in order to style my main menu.

This is all working for most of my pages but my problem is that I now have multiple files called index.php one in the root of my site and some are in folders.

Is there any way around this issue? Can PHP check to see if its the index file in the root of the site or is there a better way. I suppose I could create a second variable in the index file in my root ie my home page and then check to say if the current page is called index and has the variable of home but how would I write this?

My code

Code: [Select]
$currentPage = basename($_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'], '.php');

<li><a href="/" <?php if ($currentPage == 'index') {echo 'class="active"';} ?>>Home</a></li>

i need help here..i want to echo a lage code of html but it is giving me problems..i know it will hv to do with the syntax but am confused on how to go about it..below is the php code and the html codes Code: [Select]
<?php
include"header.php";
session_start();

if(isset($_POST['submit']))
{
$log=mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['mail1']);
$pas=($_POST['pass1']);
if($log=='' || $pas=='')
{
echo "Please supply your Username(your email address) and your password";
}
else
{
$sel="SELECT user_name,userID FROM user  WHERE (user_email='$log') AND (user_password='$pas')";
$ok=mysql_query($sel) or die(mysql_error());
if(mysql_num_rows($ok)==0)echo"Wroung Username or Password used,Please try again";
else
{
while($row=mysql_fetch_array($ok))
{
  $_SESSION['userID']=$row['userID'];
  $_SESSION['user_name']=$row['user_name'];
  $_SESSION['user_date']=$row['user_date'];
  echo $_SESSION['user_date']=$row['user_date'];
  echo"this is where i want to put the html codes so that the user_name appears on the page".$_SESSION['user_name'];
}
}
}
}
mysql_close();
