breaking PHP script...

[Michael4172]

I have a script hat works fine, but whenmy WYSIWYG editor inserts in

[code]nbsp;[/code]

Into the echo portion of the script, it breaks it due to having the ; in the nbsp portion. Any ideas of how to overcome this since I can't make the WYSIWYG editor stop inserting that?

Please post the code that is causing the problem. I use \  in PHP without problems.

Well my question is how to auto insert \ whenever   comes up. Here's a sample:

[code]
echo '<span class="par_1"><p>The single most important criterion used for selection is that the prospective company  should be able to meet and maintain the standards&nbsp;expected by the end users.</p>';
[/code]

The WYSIWYG editor auto inserts that bit.

The "\" in my post was an attempt to get this forum not to interpret the '\&nbsp;' not that I use it in my scripts.

Your sample should be fine. Why do you think it is breaking PHP?

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting ',' or ';' in
/home//htdocs/example.php on line

That's the only ; on that line...

The line number is not accurate all the time, usually the error is around that line, so check the lines above and under.

if you want ot replace the "&nbsp;" use the str_replace("&nbsp;", " ", 'Your text');

I guess there is an un-terminated line; like:

[code]<?php

echo "something"
someFuntion();

?>[/code]

[!--quoteo--][div class=\'quotetop\']QUOTE[/div][div class=\'quotemain\'][!--quotec--]Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting ',' or ';' in blahblahblah.php on line 4[/quote]

But it could be anything. Check the lines near it for missing code.

aha...I finally see what the problem was. Here's a sample:

[code]
echo 'If you haven't been here long, you may want to leave.';
[/code]

Thus the ' in haven't was causing the problem. I tried the string replace earlier to auto do away with these and put a \' before them all, but haven't figured that out yet. I have it as:

[code]
$text = str_replace("'", "\'", 'If you haven't been here long, you may want to leave.');
[/code]

But it still breaks when it gets to n't. Any ideas on that one?

You can use addslashes() or htmlentities with ENT_QUOTES/ENT_NOQUOTES:

[a href=\"http://www.php.net/addslashes\" target=\"_blank\"]http://www.php.net/addslashes[/a]
[a href=\"http://www.php.net/htmlentities\" target=\"_blank\"]http://www.php.net/htmlentities[/a]

I don't want the / to appear. If I do either of those it actually appears.

[nogray]

you can replace the ' with & # 3 9 ; using str_replace (without the spaces)

This will print out the ' in any browser.

[Michael4172]

I tried this to no avail.

[code]
<?php
$text = str_replace("'", "'", 'If you haven't been here long, you may want to leave.');
echo $text;
?>
[/code]

I regularly have things like <div id = "blah"> is the reason I rather use single quotes as oppose to the double on the end.

[poirot]

str_replace should do, but you can also use htmlentities or htmlspecialchars with ENT_QUOTES:

[code]$string = htmlentities($string, ENT_QUOTES);[/code]

[a href=\"http://www.php.net/htmlentities\" target=\"_blank\"]http://www.php.net/htmlentities[/a]
[a href=\"http://www.php.net/htmlspecialchars\" target=\"_blank\"]http://www.php.net/htmlspecialchars[/a]

They will replace " ' " with & #039;

Post #625, that is 25^2 or 5^4. I like this number [img src=\"style_emoticons/[#EMO_DIR#]/smile.gif\" style=\"vertical-align:middle\" emoid=\":smile:\" border=\"0\" alt=\"smile.gif\" /]
