david, the syntax needs a single variable there...not a list, or multiple vars...plus, if you look at http://php.net/list, you'll see it returns void, and foreach($table as void) doesn't make much sense... jack - Original Message - From: David Otton <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Tuesday,

Re: [PHP] Filtering out \ when a ' is user entered?

2001-06-27 Thread dempsejn
Hey Marcus, Lots of different ways...first, the \ is being added because you have magic_quotes turned on...you can use set_magic_quotes_runtime to turn them off in a specific script, edit your php.ini file to turn them off completely, or just do a string replace - replace \' with ' and \" wit

Re: RE: RE: [PHP] cell iterations in loop

2001-04-26 Thread dempsejn
ah, i got it... ok, try this: $length is arbitrary... $x is your counter... do the loop as before, but each time through the loop, $loopcount++; So, if you do the loop 5 times, $loopcount == 5. Then, at the end, $length - ($loopcount*$x) gives you the amount of 's to echo. Put another for loo

ok, again, trying to understand "blank space"...but, try this: if you print out you'll get something i think you're referring to as blank space... try using a nonbreaking space in there...either   or a space in the code; this will force the "emptiness" to show up... -jack - Original Mess

Even better, try strstr...it'll be faster than a regexp for a simple search of a string for another string. -jack - Original Message - From: "Tobias Talltorp" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Sunday, April 15, 2001 7:20 pm Subject: Re: [PHP] search string > I think you want regular expression

[PHP] inner workings of extract

2001-03-16 Thread dempsejn
Hi all, I've recently discovered the extract function (thanks to the poster regarding it), and have found it to save lots of time. I'm having a problem though. 99 times out of 100 when someone thinks they've found a "bug" it's actually their misuse of the function, so i'm pretty sure this is
