I have a php string
echo $this->contact->email_to
This outputs the following HTML
me#mymail.com
I want it to output the following HTML
I have been playing around with preg_replace but getting nowhere. I have got as far as the following code but it doesn't work at all.
echo preg_replace(array('/([\w-?&;#~=\.\/]+\#(\[?)[a-zA-Z0-9\-\.]+\.([a-zA-Z]{2,3}|[0-9]{1,3})(\]?))/i'), array('$1', ''), $this->contact->email_to);
I am no PHP expert so I understand there might be easier ways of doing this but I am having difficulty figuring it out.
This is probably not the best way of doing this, but using preg_replace with HTML tags, and especially emails is always a pain in the butt. Let me know if this works for you:
echo preg_replace("/\>(.*)\#(.*)\</i", "><", $this->contact->email_to);

I am not able to figure out how to get an HTML out of a simple quoted_pritable_decode command.
Consider the following code from w3schools.
$str = "Hello=0Aworld.";
echo quoted_printable_decode($str);
The output for this code is:
Hello world.
However, when I view the source it is:
Hello
world.
Well, I am trying to figure out if there is a simpler way to get the second output. I would like to store it in my database in HTML format. I am aware of way arounds like replacing the encoded part, however, is there a recommended way here?
Edit 1:
Both the answers are perfectly fine and a precise explanation from Xavier was great. Since, I just have to mark one as correct, I mark the one which I believe is more precise.
You could use nl2br() encapsulating that when you are storing it into your table.
<?php
$str = "Hello=0Aworld.";
echo nl2br(quoted_printable_decode($str));
Change your code to:
$str = "Hello=0Aworld.";
echo "<pre>" . quoted_printable_decode($str) . "</pre>";
What you echo is being interpreted as pure HTML, and HTML doesn't honor newlines, except when you use tag. You also could do a echo str_replace('\n','<br>',quoted_printable_decode($str)); (i.e. AFTER decoding)
I'm quite new here. I'm trying to make a blog/journal site that allows users to post their own journal. I'm still quite reluctant on making it because I am really afraid of malicious code injections.
So here's a sample code:
<?php
$test = "<b>blah</b>"; //User input from SQL
echo "$test";
?>
What will come out is just the word "blah" in bold right? What I was trying to achieve was to echo "<b>blah</b>" instead. I don't want people to put some PHP codes that can actually mess up my whole web page. Please keep in mind that the variable $test is actually a MYSQL query, so that variable will be needed as an example. I know you can do echo '$test'; but it just comes out as "$test" instead. I feel like pulling my hair out I can't figure it out yet.
The second solution I know of is the htmlspecialchars(); function, but I want the strings to display as what I typed, not the converted ones...
Is there any way I can do that?
I think the OP wants the HTML itself to be output to the page, and not have the tags stripped. To achieve this, you can run the string first through htmlentities()
$test = '<b>blah</b>';
echo htmlentities($test);
This will output:
<b>blah</b>
Which will render in the page as
<b>blah</b>
Echo don't execute PHP code from string. This is impossible and this is not security hole in your code.
You can use a template engine like Twig for exemple.
If htmlspecialchars(); is not the one you are looking for, try the header() option.
header('Content-type: text/plain');
When you are gonna give <b>Hi</b> to a browser, it will be displayed in Bold and not the text be returned. But you can try this way, outputting it inside a <textarea></textarea>.
Or the other way is to use htmlentities():
<?php
$test = "<b>blah</b>"; //User input from SQL
echo htmlentities("$test");
?>
So I'm trying to do something extremely simple, and after reading through forums, and researching on google I still can't figure out why this is not working. But this is mostly like because I'm still a very much noobie programmer. I'm trying to send information through a url, and having a script pick it up using the $_GET super global.
Here's the link code, in a file called TESTFORM.php:
<p>
Here's a link:
ID
</p>
This is the TESTGET.php script:
<?php
if (isset($_GET['id']))
echo 'it is set<br />';
else
echo 'it is not set<br />';
?>
This yields in a "It is not set" appearing on the page every time. Any thoughts? Are there ghosts in my computer ruining my code? Thanks for taking the time to read through this! Happy coding!
I'm no PHP programmer, but I do know from HTML that computers (especially file names) don't "like" spaces. Try removing the spaces in the id = 5 code.
Your problem is the extraneous space here around the URL parameters:
ID
That will result in PHP seeing the parameter as $_GET["id_"]. The space gets converted into an underscore.
It's always best to use var_dump($_GET); or var_dump($_REQUEST) when you run into such problems. Secondarily it is sometimes helpful to get rid of isset in such cases. Albeit you have a custom error message in place of the language notices intended just for that.
Have you tried to remove spaces in your link?
ID
Code seems fine at a glance, have you tried removing the spaces in
?id = 5 to ?id=5
It keeps killing me for some time...
I'm new to php and I'm writing a parser for price comparison site, therefore I need to have quite a few variables:
$plae = "<pastwisko>";
$user = "<krowa>";
$product "<trawa>";
But without spaces...
Using or echoing those gives me nothing. I've tried to search stackoverflow, google and php documentation and nothing... maybe my english sucks...
Thou I'll be really greatfull for help
If you are echoing those into HTML then they will be parsed as [incorrect] HTML tags by your browser and will not show. You should use htmlentities to make them display as text: http://php.net/manual/en/function.htmlentities.php
You've forgot a "=".
$product "<trawa>";
// Should be.
$product = "<trawa>";
Edit:
Joe has the correct answer to your problem, I ran the script in the terminal and that was the only error I was given. I didn't think of htmlentities, I'm sorry if my post was irrelevant and unnecessary.
I'm trying to experiment with taking text from a textarea in a flex project and open it up in a php page. But the php isn't line breaking where it should be...
an Example of the text i'd like to bring over to php would be:
You: Hi there
Them: Hello
You: This is a great example
Them: I know right?
Here's my php:
<?php
$text= $_GET['text'];
echo $text;
?>
Right now I came up with something like this in the actionscript...
var chatBox:String=chat_box.text;
navigateToURL(new URLRequest("savelog.php?text="+chatBox), '_blank');
I also tried something like:
var chatBox:String=chat_box.text.valueOf().replace("\n","<br/>");
and
var chatBox:String=chat_box.text.toString().valueOf().replace("\n","<br/>");
But apparently the \n isn't translating over no matter how I get the chatBox var so its not even making a <br/>
But, even if i did get that to work it wouldnt be ideal. Because eventually in the end I want to be able to just incorporate the pastebin API to paste this GET data and post it on there. And I don't think it would look too pretty with having <br/> after every line...
So my questions is, is it possible to bring this text over to php and recognize the line breaks in a way that would work well with what im eventually trying to accomplish?
edit:
I'm a little confused because var chatBox:String=chat_box.text.toString() actually returns the text with \n at every line break and i can see the \n on a trace statement...but when im looking in the URL text there is no \n anywhere...any ideas? because if the \n would appear the ln2br() solution might work
Take a look at ln2br() its a built in function in PHP. It also handle more than jsut the \n might be usefull in your case and i dont see that your using it yet! Try it out and let me know! You also might want to check out any encoding issues.
