<?php echo nl2br($valueu->getarea($rows['province'].'|'.$rows['city'].'|'.$rows['area'],' ')); ?></td>
how to put a line break in between city and area when outputted to a browser.
Thanks
Use \n. Just add it with the sting like this I."\n" like pie.
You can also use nl2br like this echo nl2br("One line.\nAnother line.");
Try double quote "\n".
If you use single quote '\n', PHP will just interpret as a literal \n, but within double quote, it will parse it as an escape sequence (newline character) and echo it. More about strings here.
echo nl2br('Hello \n world');
// -> Hello \n world
echo nl2br("Hello \n world");
// -> Hello <br /> world
In a browser, you may need to use "<br/>" instead of a newline "\n".
echo($valueu->getarea($rows['province'].'|'.$rows['city'].'<br />'.$rows['area'],' '));
Something like that?

I am using this:
$variable = "Name is \"Bob\"";
$message = <<<EOF
<input type="text" value="$variable">
EOF;
And the result is :
Actually, this is synthetic example and I am working with db. But I tried: this synthetic example works (to simulate problem, actually it shows that what I am doing is not working).
Yes, the quotes will appear in the HTML.
Since the quotes will end the attribute value, you'll make the HTML invalid.
You need to make the variable HTML-safe with htmlspecialchars().
You are generating invalid HTML:
<input type="text" value="Name is "Bob"">
Please use htmlspecialchars() to encode $variable before insertion.
A heredoc is just a convenient shortcut for a multi-line echo. It doesn't care WHAT'S in the string, it'll just be output.
There is NO difference between the following two constructs:
$foo = "A string with an \" embedded quote";
echo <<<EOL
Hello, $foo, how are you
EOL;
echo "Hello, $foo, how are you";
The only real difference is that you don't have escape quotes in the rest of the string:
echo <<<EOL
This is a "quoted phrase" within a sentence
EOL;
echo "This is a \"quoted phrase\" within a sentence";
I am trying to work on a script but I am stuck in one place.
Eg. To get a php output I have used..
str_php = """
<?php
echo "Hello World!";
?>"""
php_file = open("index.php", "w")
php_file.write(str_php)
php_file.close()
Ok, so I get the output as it is....
<?php
echo "Hello World!";
?>
So my php code is running. all good till here. But, the problem starts from when I try using "\" and "\n" and "\r"
str_php = """
<?php
echo "Hello World!"; \n echo "How are you"; \n echo "God bless you";
?>"""
php_file = open("index.php", "w")
php_file.write(str_php)
php_file.close()
But here I dont get the output as it is.
<?php
echo "Hello World!";
echo "How are you";
echo "God bless you";
?>
And the "\" it just vanishes... at an output.
Eg. I want an output of a php hyperlink something like...
str_php = """<?php
print("$dirArray[$index]");
?>"""
php_file = open("index.php", "w")
php_file.write(str_php)
php_file.close()
and the output I get is...
<?php
print("$dirArray[$index]");
?>
The "\" is missing and the php does not run creating error.
print("$dirArray[$index]") - Original
print("$dirArray[$index]") - python output
Can any one help me out with "\", "\n", "\r" ??
Just use "\" to escape the "\" character.
Since it is common to want to have long strings containing several "\", Python also allows one
to prefix the string opening quotes if ar r (for "raw") - inside such
a string, no escaping of "\n" to chr(10) or "\t" to chr(9) happens:
>>> print (r"Hello \n world!")
Hello \n world!
You need to escape your "\" with another backslash writting it as "\\".
If you use "\n" it will be parsed and make a newline. Try to use '\n', strings enclosed in '\n' are not parsed and it should print out as you want it to.
I have a variable a such $var:
$var = "One, Two, Three";
I can echo the variable without any problems the output is:
One, Two, Three
Is it possible, when echoing the variable to add a line break where there is a ,, so it would look like this?
One,
Two,
Three
If you echo the text to HTML, you can do the following:
echo str_replace(",", ", <br/>", $var);
If you echo the string to a console or a text file through redirection, just use the PHP_EOL constant, which represents the correct end-of-line string for the current platform ie. "\n" for Unix, "\r\n" for Windows:
echo str_replace(",", "," . PHP_EOL, $var);
You can use this:
$var = "One,\nTwo,\nThree";
\n is the line break, and makes sense if you are working through the terminal
You use \n to force a new line when outputting to a terminal.
$var = "One,\nTwo,\nThree";
You can use the HTML <br /> to output a new line on a web browser.
$var = "One,<br />Two,<br />Three";
You can use the str_replace function once you determine which type you want.
Make use of <br> tag
$var = "One, <br>Two, <br>Three";
(or) Make use of str_replace in PHP
<?php
$var = "One, Two, Three";
echo str_replace(',',',<br>',$var); // code replaces all your commas with , and a <br> tag
Explode the string with the comma as separator, then iterate through the resulting array, adding line breaks (with the br tag if outputting to browser, or newline (\n) escape sequence if outputting to terminal) when needed?
I am trying to pass a string to a javascript function which opens that string in an editable text area. If the string does not contain a new line character, it is passed successfully. But when there is a new line character it fails.
My code in PHP looks like
$show_txt = sprintf("showEditTextarea('%s')", $test_string);
$output[] = '<a href="#" id="link-'.$data['test'].'" onclick="'.$show_txt.';return false;">';
And the javascript function looks like -
$output[] = '<script type="text/javascript">
var showEditTextarea = function(test_string) {
alert(test_string);
}
</script>';
The string that was successfully passed was "This is a test" and it failed for "This is a first test
This is a second test"
Javascript does not allow newline characters in strings. You need to replace them by \n before the sprintf() call.
You are getting this error because there is nothing escaping your javascript variables... json_encode is useful here. addslashes will also have to be used in the context to escape the double quotes.
$show_txt = sprintf("showEditTextarea(%s)", json_encode($test_string));
$output[] = '<a href="#" id="link-'.$data['test'].'" onclick="'.htmlspecialchars($show_txt).';return false;">';
Why don't you try replacing all spaces in the php string with \r\n before you pass it to the JavaScript function? See if that works.
If that does not work then try this:
str_replace($test, "\n", "\n");
Replacing with two \ may work as it will encapsulate.
I would avoid storing HTML or JS in PHP variables as much as possible, but if you do need to store the HTML in a PHP variable then you will need to escape the new line characters.
try
$test_string = str_replace("\n", "\\\n", $test_string);
Be sure to use double quotes in the str_replace otherwise the \n will be interpreted as literally \n instead of a new line character.
Try this code, that deletes new lines:
$show_txt = sprintf("showEditTextarea('%s')", str_replace(PHP_EOL, '', $test_string));
Or replaces with: \n.
$show_txt = sprintf("showEditTextarea('%s')", str_replace(PHP_EOL, '\n', $test_string));
$city = 'London Paris Lisabona';
And i need print this string in textarea.
How print city in new line?
I need in textarea get this:
London
Paris
Lisabona
Code:
$city = 'London\nParis\nLisabona';
echo '<textarea>'.$city.'</textarea>';
result:
London\nParis\nLisabona
In general: Use \n for line breaks.
In your case (only works of cites don't consist of two words, i.e. each word must be a city):
$city = str_replace(' ',"\n", $str); // generates 'London\nParis\nLisabona'
Or if possible build the string with \n instead of spaces from the beginning.
Update:
Escaped character sequences like \n are only processed in double quoted strings. They are taken literally in single quoted strings (with two exceptions). Read more in the documentation:
To specify a literal single quote, escape it with a backslash (\). To specify a literal backslash, double it (\\). All other instances of backslash will be treated as a literal backslash: this means that the other escape sequences you might be used to, such as \r or \n, will be output literally as specified rather than having any special meaning.
Thus, you have to declare your strings as
$cities = "London\nParis\nLisabona";
Further note:
Whenever possible avoid echoing HTML with PHP. It makes it more difficult to debug the HTML. Instead, embed the PHP into HTML like so:
<?php
$cities = "London\nParis\nLisabona";
?>
<textarea><?php echo $cities; ?></textarea>
<?php
$city = "London\nParis\nLisabona";
?>
<textarea rows="3" cols="20">
<?php echo $city; ?>
</textarea>
$city = str_replace(' ', "<br />", $city);
If you echo it in HTML.
<textarea><?= str_replace(" ", "<br />", $city); ?></textarea>
If you want "\n" to be converted to line breaks, you need to use double-quotes instead of single quotes.
i.e.
$foo = 'a\nb\nc\n';
echo $foo;
> a\nb\nc\n
$foo = "a\nb\nc\n";
echo $foo;
> a
> b
> c
works in <textarea> form me, lines might get soft-wrapped though (but that is expected)
