Quick question

[fieldy920]

I am by no means an expert at this, but the following does not work:

 

$body = "We have received the following information:\n\n"; foreach($fields as $a => $b){ $body .= sprintf("%20s: %s\n",$b,$_REQUEST[$a]); }

 

It is part of a larger script, however the script stops working directly at the end of "$a =>".

It instead decides to print the rest of the script ($b and onwards) in the browser window.  Is there anything else I need to be aware of or do you need me to post the entire script?

That is the correct syntax...

$body = "We have received the following information:\n\n"; 
foreach($fields as $a => $b)
{ 
$body .= sprintf("%20s: %s\n",$b,$_REQUEST[$a]);
}

 

The only thing I can think of, would be to put single quotes around $a in the $_REQUEST... but the script shouldnt print itself (you are saying it's printing the code, correct?)

This is making me want to throw a brick through my screen...

 

Now my browser (after hitting submit on a form) continually loops opening the php file in a new tab.

Okay, if you take out that loop - does it do anything odd?

 

Like this:

<?php
$body = "We have received the following information:\n\n"; 
/*foreach($fields as $a => $b)
{ 
$body .= sprintf("%20s: %s\n",$b,$_REQUEST['$a']);
}*/
?>

 

And that works okay?

 

if so, can you print_f($fields)?

[fieldy920]

I can put

 

<?php
echo "Hello World!";
?>

 

and execute it and it loops opening the damn thing...

[Philip]

Try this:

<?php
$body = "We have received the following information:\n\n"; 
echo '<pre>';
print_r($fields);
echo '</pre>';
/*foreach($fields as $a => $b)
{ 
$body .= sprintf("%20s: %s\n",$b,$_REQUEST['$a']);
}*/
?>
