Maybe I'm just not searching for the right things. Here's the problem. I'm writing a lot of pages, and I hate going in and out of PHP. At the same time, I want my HTML to be legible. When you look at it, that's kind of a problem, though... for instance (assume this had some PHP in the middle, and there was actually a reason not to just put this in HTML in the first place): Simple PHP: ?php echo 'html'; echo 'head'; echo ' titlePage Title/title'; echo '/head'; echo 'body'; echo 'pThis is the page body/p'; echo '/body'; echo '/html'; ? Output page source: htmlhead titlePage Title/title/headbodypThis is the page body/p/body/html Now, I can go through and add a newline to the end of each line (echo 'html' . \n; and so on), but it adds a lot of typing. Is there a way to make this happen automatically? I thought about just building a simple function, but I run into problem with quotes -- either I can't use single quotes, or I can't use double quotes. Historically, I've dealt with the issue by just having ugly output code, but I'd like to stop doing that. How do other people deal with this? Thanks, Alex Alex Just add a \n at the end as echo 'html\n'; That will not work. Single quotes means that the '\n' is not interpreted as a new line so you'll see a bunch of '\n' in the output. What I sometimes do is: $out = array(); $out[] = 'html'; $out[] = 'head'; $out[] = ' titlePage Title/title'; $out[] = '/head'; $out[] = 'body'; $out[] = 'pThis is the page body/p'; $out[] = '/body'; $out[] = '/html'; echo join(\n,$out); -- Act as if you were already happy and that will tend to make you happy. -- Dale Carnegie Rick Pasottor...@niof.nethttp://www.niof.net -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP] strtotime()
On my home machine running 5.3.2-2 in debian linux the commands:
echo date('Y-m-d',strtotime('first day of this month')).'br/';
echo date('Y-m-d',strtotime('last day of next month'));
give the expected results.
I just got setup with a hosting provider running 5.2.13 on BSD and both
give '1969-12-31'.
What could be causing this? The second command is straight from the
manual and the first is clearly implied.
So far everything else seems to work as expected.

This may be what you are looking for:
include('next_program');
exit();
If you do this, you have to keep in mind that all the variables you set
in the first program are *still* set in the second.
This is useful when your first program needs to choose which of two or
more programs to run next depending on its calculations. For example, if
your first program does error checking then it might want to run an
all_ok program or an edit program.

I think you'll need your own function for this.
Nope. Just use array_search().
$k = array_search('5',$Campaign_array);
if ($k + 1 count($Campaign_array)) { echo $Campaign_array[$k + 1]; }
Pass in the array and loop
through it until you find the key, increment that, ensure that there is
another value with that key, and return the key (or the value).
(untested)
function nextInArray($arr, $val)
{
$next_key = NULL;
for ($i = 0; $i sizeof($arr);$i++)
{
if ($arr[$i] == $val)
{
$next_key = ++$i;
break;
}
}
// return the key:
return (array_key_exists($next_key) ? $next_key : NULL);
// or the value:
return (array_key_exists($next_key) ? $arr[$next_key] : NULL);
}
However, in your example, you're searching for the key that points to the
value '5'. What if the value '5' occurs more than once?
From the docs:
If needle is found in haystack more than once, the first matching key
is returned. To return the keys for all matching values, use
array_keys() with the optional search_value parameter instead.

I tried this and it gives me nothing back. It should give me a 8
$Campaign_array= array('0','1','3','5','8','15','25');
$val=5;
$k = array_search($val,$Campaign_array);
if ($k + 1 count($Campaign_array)) { echo $Campaign_array[$k + 1]; }
I figured out way it was not working $k + 1 count needed to be $k + 1

This is two different ways you can do it, bases on your input data array
structure
test.php
?php
$values = array();
$values[] = array('first_name' = 'Jim','last_name' = 'Lucas');
$values[] = array('first_name' = 'James','last_name' = 'Lucas');
$values[] = array('first_name' = 'Jimmy','last_name' = 'Lucas');
foreach ($values AS $row) {
extract($row);
echo include 'template.php';
}
$values = array();
$values[] = array('Jim','Lucas');
$values[] = array('James','Lucas');
$values[] = array('Jimmy','Lucas');
list($first_name, $last_name) = current($values);
do {
echo include 'template.php';
} while (list($first_name, $last_name) = next($values));
?
You have misunderstood. You are still putting the template in an
external file. I want it in the main file. I don't want to maintain
two different files.

[PHP] preg_replace() help
I have quotes like the following:
$txt = 'A promise is a debt. -- Irish Proverb';
I'd like to replace all the spaces afer the '--' with nbsp;
This is what I've tried:
$pat = '/( --.*)(\s|\n)/U';
$rpl = '$1$2nbsp;';
while (preg_match($pat,$txt,$matches) 0) {
print $txt\n;
printf([0]: %s\n,$matches[0]);
printf([1]: %s\n,$matches[1]);
printf([2]: %s\n,$matches[2]);
preg_replace($pat,$rpl,$txt);
}
The prints are for debugging. $matches contains what I expect but
nothing gets replaced and $txt stays the same so it loops forever.
What am I doing wrong?

Perhaps you are confusing a char with a byte?
Anyway, the problem is solved from the other end. So long as the
original string has a length that is a multiple of 8 the encoded/decoded
result has no extra chars. Padding the initial string with spaces makes
it easy to then trim() the output.

Nope, not confused, but I ASSUMED that maybe the chars were not at the
beginning or ending of the string, but somewhere in the middle. ( you
didn't say where the chars were )
Yes, I did. the original *plus* some '\ufffd' bytes clearly means that
they were added at the end.
And since you were using trim(), that you were using the wrong function.
Which only works on the beginning and ending of a string.
I wanted to remove the characters that were added at the *end* of the
string.
