This is a little complicated to explain but I'll try my hardest, I'm trying to create a tool to edit channel descriptions for TeamSpeak 3, to do this you use a feature called channeledit.
example usage: channeledit channel_description=My\sDescription
Presumably \s = space \n = newline, is there any possible way from using a textarea to php script to have it output the line as:
My\sDescription\nWelcome\sto\smy\sServer
Rather than appearing as:
My Description
Welcome to my Server
If there is spacing or line breaks, this kills the command and stops it working. Can anyone give me a bit of help here?
Code for this is:
$name = "Test
Test
Test test test";
$ts3_VirtualServer->execute("channeledit cid=" . $current_cid . " channel_description=" . $name);
$name = "Test Test
Test test test";
(string)$newname = str_replace(' ', '\\s', $name);
$newname = urldecode(str_replace('%0A', "\\n", urlencode($newname)));
You need to escape (\) the backslash (\). %0A 's are easier to find.
My output:
Test\sTest\nTest\stest\stest
$name=STR_replace(" ","/s",$name)
$name= str_replace("\n", '\n', $name);
If you want to replace spaces and carriage returns with literal \n and \s. I would do the following:
$name = urldecode(str_replace("%0D%0A","\\n",str_replace("+","\\s",urlencode($name))));

My code simply displays a random line from a text file,
But in my text file most of the proxies look like this: "11.15.19.15:80" I need help how to display only the address on the site, and remove the quotation marks.
<?php
$message_array = file("proxies.txt");
$message = array_rand($message_array);
echo "$message_array[$message]";
?>
All you need to do is wrap the string in a trim():
<?php
$message_array = file("proxies.txt");
$message = array_rand($message_array);
echo trim($message_array[$message], "\""); // 11.15.19.15:80
?>
Note that the second argument in trim() is needed, because your string contains the " characters, rather than uses them to denote the string itself. Adding an escaped backslash ("\"") removes the quotation marks from what is inside the string itself.
I've created a simple demonstration of this at 3v4l.org here.
I think you can use a regex like so:
preg_replace('/["]*/g', '', $message);
Use str_replace. Here is an example:
$message = str_replace('"', '',$message);
You can use the trim function if you just need to remove the double quotes:
$message = trim($message, '"');
Also str_replace:
$message = str_replace('"', '', $message);
The text of story content in my database is:
I want to add\r\nnew line
(no quote)
When I use:
echo nl2br($story->getStoryContent());
to replace the \r\n with br, it doesn't work. The browser still display \r\n. When I view source, the \r\n is still there and br is nowhere to be found also. This is weird because when I test the function nl2br with simple code like:
echo nl2br("Welcome\r\nThis is my HTML document");
it does work. Would you please tell me why it didn't work? Thank you so much.
The following snippet uses a technique that you may like better, as follows:
<?php
$example = "\n\rSome Kind\r of \nText\n\n";
$replace = array("\r\n", "\n\r", "\r", "\n");
$subs = array("","","","");
$text = str_replace($replace, $subs, $example );
var_dump($text); // "Some Kind of Text"

I doubt that you need "\n\r" but I left it in just in case you feel it is really necessary.
This works by having an array of line termination strings to be replaced with an empty string in each case.
I found the answer is pretty simple. I simply use
$text = $this->storyContent;
$text = str_replace("\\r\\n","<br>",$text);
$text = str_replace("\\n\\r","<br>",$text);
$text = str_replace("\\r","<br>",$text);
$text = str_replace("\\n","<br>",$text);
I have problem in sending message to my client via socket,the string that I would like to send is like this "##w32,12345678,xxx,5*zy\r\n"
$msg = $_POST['comm_input']; //"##w32,12345678,xxx,5*zy\r\n"
if this is posted i get the value of $msg which is "##w32,12345678,xxx,5*zy\r\n"
but my client will not accept this kind of message..but if I manually do like this without posting the comm_input;
$testmsg = "##w32,12345678,xxx,5*zy\r\n";
It works fine,I tried to look at in firebug there is no double quotes and \r\n.and it works fine.
if I post the comm_input.and look at in the firebug there is double quotes and \r\n,how can I remove this.
You can use str_replace function to remove \r\n.
DEMO
<?php
$testmsg = "##w32,12345678,xxx,5*zy\r\n"; <-- $_POST value
$order = "\r\n";
$replace = "";
$newstr = str_replace($order, $replace, $testmsg);
echo $newstr; //outputs ##w32,12345678,xxx,5*zy
?>
using str_replace, you need to escape the \ with and extra \, hence, \r as string becomes \\r
$msg = $_POST['comm_input']; //"##w32,12345678,xxx,5*zy\r\n" ;
$new_msg = str_replace("\\r\\n", "", $msg);
Edit: to remove double quotes
$new_msg = str_replace('"', "", $new_msg);
Consider reading this article : Escape Sequence in PHP
you can use
$msg = "##w32,12345678,xxx,5*zy\r\n";
$str = rtrim($msg);
Refer trim() and rtrim()
I have a string say
$result = \nHey there!Listen\n\n===\n\nLife is one\n\n===\n\nBut cs is 1.6ok\n\n===\n\nI hope you got what i wanna say\n\nSpeech finished\n\n===\n
Now I want to
Find the no of occurences of \n in the above string. I have used the below function but it outputs nothing :
substr_count($result,"\n");
I want to email $result as the Email-body , but \n characters are appearining as it is.
Anyway out there, that I can get rid of these \n characters and they are actually replaced by a new line in email subject ?
$result = str_replace("\n", chr(13), $result );
I replaced all the \n characters by chr(13) that is interpreted as enter .
So it worked out for me :)
I get text via api and sometimes the text can be like so:
hello
world!
How are you?
But I do need the text to be like this:
hello world! How are you?
How to do that?
you can replace the newlines in the text by doing:
$newmsg = str_replace("\n",' ',$yourmsg);
Here is the link to the php function documentation:
http://php.net/manual/en/function.str-replace.php
EDIT: I added a space in the code so it does "hello world..." instead of "helloworld"
Use
$str=" test
hello
world" ;
str_replace ( "\n"," " , $str
) ;
If you want number of replaced count pass the fourth argument
str_replace ( "\n"," " , $str , $count ) ;
$str=<<<EOF
hello
world!
How are you?
EOF;
$s = explode("\n",$str);
print_r(implode(" ",$s));
Here is a really ridiculous solution that I would probably use (bear in mind, ocdcoder's answer works just fine), to make sure I accounted for all possible line endings:
$line_ends = array("\r\n", "\r", "\n"); //notice the order is important.
$new_msg = str_replace($line_ends, " ", $orig_msg);
This way, if there are double line ends, it gets rid of them, but if not, it goes back and checks for single line endings.
But if you want to get more complicated, you could replace your possible carriage-returns with line-ends:
$msg_newline_fix = str_replace("\r", "\n", $orig_message);
$msg_double_newline_fix = str_replace("\n\n", "\n", $msg_newline_fix);
$newmsg = str_replace("\n", " ", $msg_double_newline_fix);
But again, I'm a bit wacky like that. Another crazy solution might be:
$msg_newline_fix = str_replace("\r", "\n", $orig_message);
$msg_array_lines = explode("\n", $msg_newline_fix);
foreach($msg_array_lines as $msg_line){
$clean_line = rtrim($msg_line);
if($clean_line !== '') {
$msg_clean_array[] = $clean_line;
}
}
$new_msg = implode(" ", $msg_clean_array);
But if you know your line endings will be new lines (\n) and not carriage returns (\r) then you are probably safe with a simple one line str_replace.
Finally, you might actually want to preserve line endings when it indicates a new paragraph, something like:
Hello
World!
This is a
new paragraph.
In which case, I would suggest normalizing the line-endings first (making it consistently the same thing so we aren't guessing) and then replacing those empty lines with some kind of safe token you can go back and replace with your new line. Something like:
$msg_carriage_fix = str_replace("\r", "\n\n", $orig_message);
$msg_double_carriage_fix = str_replace("\n\n\n", "\n\n", $msg_newline_fix);
Now we are at the point where we know each line, including empty lines, have only one \n at the end. By replacing the potential \r with two \n, and then replacing only three \n in a row with two \n we avoid the risk of removing any line endings if there were no carriage-return \rs in the first place. Then we can finally do:
$msg_hold_true_linebreaks = str_replace("\n\n", "%line-break%", $msg_double_carriage_fix);
$msg_strip_new_lines = str_replace("\n"," ",$msg_hold_true_linebreaks);
and last but not least:
$new_msg = str_replace("%line-break%","\n",$msg_strip_new_lines);
But,that is only if you really want to keep those true line-breaks and if you want to be extra sure you are ready for carriage-returns, line-ends, and the dreaded \r\n.
I would show yet another version that may shorter and involves using implode and explode, but I'm sure that's enough for now.
edit
Here is a slightly simpler version of that last suggestion, which tries to account for both line endings and intentional line breaks:
$msg_rn_fix = str_replace("\r\n", "\n", $orig_msg);
$msg_r_fix = str_replace("\r", "\n", $msg_rn_fix);
We now know each line ends with a single \n, including empty lines...
$msg_array = explode("\n", $msg_r_fix);
Normal lines each get an array value, but we also know that if the array value is nothing, that it was an intentional hard return...
foreach($msg_array as $msg_line) {
$clean_msg_lines[] = ($msg_line == '') ? "\n" : $msg_line;
}
then we put it all back together:
$new_msg = implode(" ", $clean_msg_lines);
The only flaw is that there will be an extra space before and after each line end. This is easily fixed:
$new_msg = str_replace(" \n ", "\n", $new_msg);
I like this last solution so much, I'm going to copy it below without commentary.
My favorite version
$msg_rn_fix = str_replace("\r\n", "\n", $orig_msg);
$msg_r_fix = str_replace("\r", "\n", $msg_rn_fix);
$msg_array = explode("\n", $msg_r_fix);
foreach($msg_array as $msg_line) {
$clean_msg_lines[] = ($msg_line == '') ? "\n" : $msg_line;
}
$new_msg = implode(" ", $clean_msg_lines);
$new_msg = str_replace(" \n ", "\n", $new_msg);
