[PHP] newline and return issues in string
I have come across an issue with my string that I would like to find a
faster way to resolve.
It seems there are new lines and returns at different positions of the
string.
First I exploded on the new line explode(\n, $ string)
This gave me a nice array but when I try to implode I get the new lines
again.
There is not a consistent position and there seems to be some hidden returns
in the array as well.
Is there a way, or has someone written a filter that would allow me to
remove all the newlines and returns from the array or string.
Understand I have resolved this issue but I think I have to be going about
this the hard way because it is just too complex .
FYI
$filter = array("\r\n", "\n", "\r");
str_replace($filter,,$string) ß this is useless in this situation I have
tried and it does not change the string at all.
Understand the newlines and returns do not display in the string as
literals. Meaning you do not see /n or /r it is hidden.

Re: [PHP] Newline
In general, I try to think of single quotes as being literal and
double quotes as being interpreted.
In that case, we expect 'some line\t with a tab, a variable {$obj-
>member}, and a newline\n' to produce exactly:
some line\t with a tab, a variable {$obj->member}, and a newline\n
Yet, the same thing in double quotes:
some linewith a tab, a variable foo, and a
newline
As a result, I use single quotes whenever I can. Otherwise, double.

You can:
define('LF', "\n");
then
echo 'A newline' . LF;
or something
if you were going to do that you may as well use PHP_EOL
its cross-platform and doesnt require an define directive.

No.
HTML "collapses" any run of whitespace to a single space character.
It does something akin to:
$html = preg_replace("|\\s+|", " ", $html);
on each chunk of non-tag content.
It does not ever "ignore" whitespace in content.

Your WYSIWIG tool is very broken, if the above is correct, since it is
ADDING a bunch of whitespace inside the content.

err, sorry I misunderstood your sentence about the tags...
yeah, you should somehow avoid replacing within tags. maybe in
first step find all tags, save their contents in an array, then do
the str_replace, and after that restore the tags contents with
preg_replace

why not strip them before storing the html content into the DB?
that way you need to strip them only once, while if you strip them on
display you need to strip them once for each request.
and you don't need checking with tags and stuff.
just do a
str_replace(array("\n", "\r", "\t"), "", $text);

[PHP] Newline and tab characters
I've just noticed that "\r\n" and "\t" characters create a space when rendered in the browser (tested in IE and Firefox). I'd always thought the browser would ignore these characters. This wouldn't normally be a problem but the wysiwyg html editor in the cms I'm using tries to be friendly by formatting the html code, so something like getonline becomes \r\n\t\tget\r\n\t\tonline and instead of being displayed as getonline it's displayed as get online. Is there a simple way to sort this out or do I need to create a function to strip these characters before display, checking first that they don't occur within a tag in which case I mustn't strip them.

I found the problem. I was re-writing the page from using the old DOMXML to the new DOM.

Re: [PHP] Newline character problem...
In addition to what was mentioned below, you can also wrap your text in tags to have it output exactly as you've formatted it: echo "\n"; echo "one\n"; echo "two\n"; echo "\n"; Actually, I don't think either of these methods is going to output what you want. Even though \n is newline, it's still interpreted as newline/carriage return. Unix, Mac and DOS/Windows PC's all use something different for a newline character. I believe Unix was \n, Mac was \r at some point and DOS/Windows PC's used \n\r. Think my old Amiga used \r as well. Goofy. Anyway, it's proably because of this that you can't just do \n and expect it to be represented as just a newline (sans carriage return). If you use the tag, then you can manually do what you want to do: echo "\n"; echo "one\n"; echo " two"; echo "\n"; If you don't use the tag, there's an HTML entity that you can use for a hard space.. Unfortunately in HTML, if you stack a bunch of spaces, it compresses them to one space. echo "onetwo"; ..and.. echo "one two"; Will both result in: one two If you use instead of spaces, it'll space it out further: echo "one two"; Ugly but it works. Unfortunately (again), if you don't use the tags, you'll have to remember to set a monospace font face or you won't get the text alignment you might want. One other side nugget related to this (formatted and spaces and all that nonsense), you can use the tag to tell HTML not to word-wrap the text within it.

[PHP] Newline character problem...
I'm new to PHP but not programming in general. I have used C++ for a while and I'm familiar with the newline character as it's basically the same in PHP. Whenever I print something with a newline character in it all it produces is a space between whatever two things I'm printing. I'm running php 5.1.1 running on FreeBSD 6 with apache 2.2.0. All the latest versions installed today. This is the most basic of examples: print 'one' ; print "\n" ; print 'two' ; The output of this when accessed on my server is: one two It should be: one two I've tried using printf as well but to no avail. It just adds a space between the outputs. I've also tried using different browsers but still get the same result. What am I doing wrong? Could this a php configuration issue? Apache maybe? Thanks, Rob

Thanks, Richard. I understand now that php doesn't do the regex stuff
itself- it has a module/apple/program called RegEx do the dirty work.
So I have to pay attention to what RegEx will get. Like paying
attention to the source code of html files and not what we see in the
browser.
Thank you for that explanation. I'm just begining to get familiar
enough with php to have the need (and the ability) to understand what
goes on internally.
By the way, I see that you advertise offices on all the planets and
most of the major moons, but when I try to get in contact with the
Uranus branch, I'm told that the nearest operating office is on Earth.
There's 3 planets and over 20 big moons between those planets, why the
gap in coverage?

Single quotes have only two (2) special characters:
' and \
You need \' to get a ' buried inside a single quote.
Since you use \ as the escape character, but you might want \ in the
string, you also want to use \\ to get a single \ in your string.
That's pretty much *IT* for single quotes.
Double quotes have much for flexibility.
Embedded variables, special characters like \n \r \t ..., embedded 1-D
arrays and object dereferences (->) and even (in recent times) an {}
construct to evaluate an expression and splice it in.
In PHP, you need \n inside double quotes to get a newline.
[Okay, there are other ways, but it's the most common way.]
\n inside of single quotes don't mean squat.
So, in PHP "\n" is newline.
I think "\1" just turns into "1" because 1 is not special following "\"...
But I can't begin to remember *ALL* the characters that are special
following "\" especially when you start getting into octal/hex
representations.
The trick to remember is that if you want "\" in PHP, you need "\\" to get
a single "\"
Now, both PHP *and* RegEx use \ as a special character.
So, not only do you need "\\" in PHP to get a single "\", you *ALSO* may
need one (or more) \ characters to "feed" into your RegEx.
In your case:
"\n...\1" turns into this in PHP internally:
"[newline]...1"
Because \1 don't mean squat to PHP either, really. It just means "1"
[Unless it means ASCII charcter 1, which I doubt...]
Anyway, the \ is being used by PHP as an escape character, and you need a
\ to get down to the RegEx parser.
"\n...\\1" will do that.
PHP will see the "\\" and turn it into \ internally.
The \ gets handed to the RegEx parser, and it "sees":
[newline]...\1
for its input string.
That's what you want.
Always try to "see" your PHP / RegEx strings in three stages:
1. What you type in PHP.
2. What PHP stores internally, which is what it hands to RegEx
3. What RegEx is going to "parse" #2 into.

[PHP] Newline charactes causing problems
Hey all,
I know this has been asked before, and I have tried many of the
solutions that were posted in the mailing archives, and also did some
googling. But I can't seem to eliminate some new line characters from a
string. Here is the scenario:
1. A user inputs some text into an form and submits the form.
2. The information gets put into my MySQL db.
3. I retrieve the information from the db and display it.
Now after the user submits the form, I have tried dumping it to the db in a
few different ways. First of all, I dumped it directly to the db with no
changes, hoping that I could remove the newline characters and other
unwanted markup and tags when retrieving the string. I also tried dumping
it to the db with after I used some string manipulation function, such as
stripslashes, nl2br, htmlentities, stripcslashes, trim, rtrim, and even
str_replace. And just to be safe I made sure I double checked to make sure
the newlines were removed on before displaying by using some of the same
functions, but to no avail. The newlines still seem to be there.
In the db, I have tried various different field types, from text to varchar
to blob, but this hasn't changed anything either.
The reason it is so important that the newline characters be removed is
because they are being used to create a javascript string. And if the
newline characters are there then, I get an unterminated string error.
Here is the current code for adding the user input to the db:
http://localhost/errors/script.php?f=addNewTask&r=query_failed";);
header("Location: http://localhost/events/task.php?action=add&set=1";);
} else {
header("Location:
http://localhost/errors/script.php?f=addNewTask&r=db_conn";);
}
}
?>
$posted is the array $_POST after it is passed to the function.
$_POST['notes'] is where I am having the problem.
Here is the code for displaying the information from the db:
[library file snippit]
'1'";
$result = mysql_query($query);
while($row=mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) {
$aTasks[$i] =
array($row['due'],$row['title'],stripslashes($row['notes']));
$i++;
}
if(isset($aTasks)) {
array_multisort($aTasks,SORT_DESC,SORT_STRING);
print("");
print_r($aTasks);
print("");
return($aTasks);
}
} else {
header("Location:
http://localhost/errors/script.php?f=getTasks&r=db_conn";);
}
}
?>
[displaying page snippit]
0) {
echo("\n");
echo("aTasks = new Array(\n");
$sTask = "";
for($i=0;$i<$len;$i++) {
$sTask .= "\"";
if($tasks[$i][0] < getNow() && $tasks[$i][0] != "x") $sTask .= "Past Due!
";
$sTask .= $tasks[$i][2]."\",";
}
$sTask = substr($sTask,0,(strlen($sTask) - 1));
echo($sTask.");\n");
echo("\n");
}
?>
I know that is going into the db with the newlines still in the string. And
I am constantly going back to mysqladmin and the newlines are there, no
matter what I do. I was hoping someone could shed some light on what could
possibly be causing this.

If you want the newlines converted, then you need to use a text data type,
not application/octet-stream. Try text/plain, for instance.

[PHP] Newline in fputs
Dear All,
Firstly, I am a newbie to php so please be gentle.
I'm having problems with carriage returns placed in a file on a Linux based
server. When this file is download to a WindowsXP machine the carriage
returns are quite frankly useless. I just get "[]" (where "[]" represents an
undisplayable character. No actual carriage returns or newlines!
I generate the file using the following code (fragment only):
while($row=mysql_fetch_array($mysql_result))
{
$f_title=$row["title"];
$f_first_name=$row["first_name"];
$f_surname=$row["surname"];
$f_email=$row["email"];
fputs($file_op,"$f_title, $f_first_name, $f_surname, $f_email\n");
}
I then use the following link to a download_it.php script as described in
Tansley as follows:
$parameters="file_name=".urlencode($file_name)."&file_size=$file_size";
echo "download it";
The download_it.php file looks as follows:
Appart from the fact that the Content-Disposition appears not to be working
under IE6 since the file name is not correct.
The downloaded file does not contain Windows type carriage returns of
newlines! However it does contains the data thank goodness.
What is the fix?
Henry Grech-Cini

Morning all, I'm using the mail() function on a project for a client. His hosting provider currently offers php3, meanwhile I've been developing in php4. So far, I don't haven't found any problems other than the following: In php4, inside the mail function I use newline definitions to seperate data, and it works terrific.

Re: [PHP] newline in preg_split
Hello,
If you read the file with file()-function, you can get as a result an array which
includes each row of the file.
For example:
$rows = file("c:\thisfile.txt");
echo $rows[0];
echo $rows[1];
echo $rows[2];
The result should be now like following:
core 010105
business 070344
core 020202
Note that also \n and \r -characters are included to the array.
Cheers,

Hi! I have text file looking something like this: core 010105 business 070344 core 020202 ... The textfile is a result from a database question and I am trying to parse the file in order to retrieve each line. I have tried using the explode()-method but I can´t get it to work with the delimiter \n (or \r or \\n...). I have also tried to use the preg_split()-method which takes a RE-argument but that doesn´t seem to work either (have tried in a lot of ways). Can anyone give me a clue how to solve this problem?

To really be RFC-compliant, you should use "\r\n" instead of just "\n" -- Un*x mail-handling mostly fixes it for you, but...

[PHP] newline processing problem?
I have some code which generates a large string to be used by the mail() function. At the same point in the string each time, PHP stops processing "\n" correctly and instead of a newline outputs nothing, so the text starts to get run together.. but it doesn't seem to happen on every "\n". Has anyone else run into this problem? It used to work correctly but I made a few changes to portions of the code that were totally uninvolved, and it started behaving this way. Unfortunately, I didn't notice the problem until I'd made a number of small changes to unrelated things and didn't remember what they were.
