Then put the print statement inside the if, not the assignation,
otherwise you will always get that last line!

Re: [PHP] string concatenation with fgets

[aurfalien]

Hi Ash,

Actually I need the if because the code will print out an empty line  
and add "sometext" to it.


So without the if check for an empty line, at the end of the loop I'll  
get sometext.  For example, if the file I am processing called  
somename.txt has


a
b
c

in it.  I'll have;

asometext
bsometext
csometext

but w/o the if check, I'll also have

sometext

as well.

Remove the if statement and just print out $tmp. The while loop is  
going over one extra time than you need, and on that final  
iteration, $tmp is an empty string. The if statement only changes  
$name if $tmp is empty, so it leaves it as it was, hence you getting  
the last line printed twice. Printing out an empty string in this  
example won't do anything, and the if statement is also pretty  
useless as it just copies the value to another variable on a  
condition that will only result in the side-effect you've noticed.

Remove the if statement and just print out $tmp. The while loop is going
over one extra time than you need, and on that final iteration, $tmp is
an empty string. The if statement only changes $name if $tmp is empty,
so it leaves it as it was, hence you getting the last line printed
twice. Printing out an empty string in this example won't do anything,
and the if statement is also pretty useless as it just copies the value
to another variable on a condition that will only result in the
side-effect you've noticed.

Hi Shawn,

Re: [PHP] string concatenation with fgets

[aurfalien]

So here is my final test code, notice the check for ' ' in the if.

Since I'm on Linux, this has to do with whats between the last LF and  
EOF which is nothing but this nothing will get printed out.


$file = fopen("somefile.txt", "r");
while (! feof($file))
{
$names = trim(fgets($file));
if ($names == '')
{
break;
}
print $names."sometext\n";
}
fclose($file);

So, what output you actually wants from your program?

Is it like this
asometextbsometextcsometext..

or, like this
asometext
bsometext
csometext




Hi,

Sorry, I was incomplete :)

I would like;

asometext
bsometext
csometext

Basically, I would like to add whatever text to the end of what I find  
in the file.


So if the file contains

a
b
c

I would like;

asometext
bsometext
csometext...

Re: [PHP] string concatenation from array

[Peter James]

My personal favourite is to use an array.  It's much cleaner syntax IMO...it
is very easy to miss a '.' on a '.=', and introduce a nasty bug.

$wresult = array();

foreach ($search_string as $word_result) {
  $wresult[] = $word_result;
}
echo join('', $wresult);

or in php 4.3

echo join($wresult);

[PHP] string concatenation from array

[Micah Montoy]

I'm having a bit of difficulty getting a string to attach to itself from an
array.  Here is the bit of code I'm working on.

$wresult = "";

 foreach ($search_string as $word_result){
  $wresult = $wresult & " " & $word_result;
 }

echo ("$wresult");

Anyone see why when I run through each part of the array, it won't attach
the next string and so on?

thanks

Of course, in this case, it would be much easier replace all of the above
with

echo join(' ', $search_string);

and be done with it. :-)

Re: [PHP] string concatenation from array

[Jonathan Pitcher]

Micah,

The & sign in PHP (to the best of my knowledge) does not concatenate.

Use a . instead.   See below.

$wresult = "";

foreach ($search_string as $word_result){
$wresult .= $word_result;
}
That should work for you.

Anyone see why when I run through each part of the array, it won't 
attach
the next string and so on?

thanks

A bunch of simplifications, efficiency tweaks on this approach...

  $wresult = '';

$wresult = $wresult . ' ' . $word_result;
OR you can do...
$wresult .= $word_result;
>  }

echo $wresult;


BUT, the far far far better way to do this just takes one line:

   echo implode(' ', $search_string);

Whoops meant to delete the old message.  Doh.  Variable variables eh?  A
topic I've always wondered about and never found in a manual for any of the
languages I've used before.  Will go and have a look now, cheers.

Feel free to trim all the ireelevant stuff from your posts :-)

Try $$search or ${color} depending on exactly what you want to do. You
might want to have another read through the Variable variables section of
the documentation to clarify this.

[PHP] string concatenation

[Seb Frost]

OK let's say in variable $search I have the string "color" (without the
quote marks).

now I want to be able to refer to the variable $color in my code.

How in gods name do I do this.  I guess somehow I have to combine a "$" with
the contents of £search or something...?

[PHP] String concatenation problems

[[EMAIL PROTECTED]]

I posted a related question yesterday with no response.  I've done some more 
investigating and think I can lay some of the blame on the string concatentation 
operation.  If anyone can tell me what might be causing this behavoir I would greatly 
appreciate it.

the following code shows the rough form of what I am doing
for ($i=0;$i<100;$i++)
{
   $returnVal = "\t\n";
   $returnVal .= "\t\t\n";
   $returnVal .= "\t\t\t  \n";

   $returnVal .= "\t";
   $returnValArray[$i]=$returnVal;
}
return $returnValArray;

--- Problem description:
Some rows are corrupted.
The type of corruption that occur are
a) an incomplete row is in $returnVal before assignment to the array, the incomplete 
row is always stopped partway through the addition of a string, ie "ABC"."DEF"->"ABCD" 
sometimes
b) a doubled row.  The initial $returnVal assignment is skipped causing two iterations 
throuhg the for loop to build up on the returnVal variable.
c) unknown. in some cases, after the assignment of $returnVal to $returnValArray[$i] 
the array version will be corrupted while the originl is not.

What is happening here?  As mentioned this problem only materializes on an older 
machine (P133 with 64MB ram) not on the development machine (PIII700 with 128MB).  The 
productio server runs AOLServer while the development server runs Apache.
