[SOLVED] Weird Boxes but no error! And it still does not work but no error!

[phprocket]

 

 

I am tring to create a php file on the fly, everything else works except this line..

 

 

$contents .="\tif(parse_url(PUMMS_GLOBAL_INSTALLED_URL,1) !='localhost') {\$pumms_domain_cookie=ereg_replace('^[^\.]*\.([^\.]*)\.(.*)$', '\1.\2',parse_url(PUMMS_GLOBAL_INSTALLED_URL,1));}else{\$pumms_domain_cookie='';}\n";

print $contents;

 

For some reason the output is like this.

 

 

if(parse_url(PUMMS_GLOBAL_INSTALLED_URL,1) !='localhost') {$pumms_domain_cookie=ereg_replace('^[^\.]*\.([^\.]*)\.(.*)$', '.',parse_url(PUMMS_GLOBAL_INSTALLED_URL,1));}else{$pumms_domain_cookie='';}

 

well the forum will not post the results but what it looks like is a BOX.BOX where '\1.\2' used to be.

 

does anyone know how I can stop this ?

 

Thanks.

just get rid of the \'s in it @ the 1.2 part they are encapsulated in '''s already so theoretically it should just pass 1.2... maybe that'll fix the boxes in your output?

try

$contents .="\tif(parse_url(PUMMS_GLOBAL_INSTALLED_URL,1) !='localhost') {\$pumms_domain_cookie=ereg_replace('^[^\.]*\.([^\.]*)\.(.*)$', '\\1.\\2',parse_url(PUMMS_GLOBAL_INSTALLED_URL,1));}else{\$pumms_domain_cookie='';}\n";

That works..

 

I made another version that works also but I like yours better.

 

        $contents .="\t".'if(parse_url(PUMMS_GLOBAL_INSTALLED_URL,1) !=\'localhost\') {$pumms_domain_cookie=ereg_replace(\'^[^\.]*\.([^\.]*)\.(.*)$\', \'\1.\2\',parse_url(PUMMS_GLOBAL_INSTALLED_URL,1));}else{$pumms_domain_cookie=\'\';}';
