for each () Output Question

[futhermukker]

Why does the output of this code:

 

foreach ($Day as $D) {
echo '<center><a style="font-size: 80pt; font-family:Arial; font-weight:bolder">'.$D.'</a></center>';
}

 

Where $Day are the days of the week (previously selected with checkboxes in my form), put each day on a seperate line.

 

Whereas this code:

 

foreach ($Day as $D) {
echo $D;
}

 

puts the results on the same line.

 

Is there any way to change the first code to place the results on the same line?

 

Here is the url of the form I am working on:

 

www.yardmartplus.com/sign.php

 

Please be kind I am new to php and sort of winging this.

Create a proper html document and see if the problem remains.

Not sure what you mean by that. Please elaborate.

try

echo '<center>';
foreach ($Day as $D) {
echo '<a style="font-size: 80pt; font-family:Arial; font-weight:bolder">'.$D.'</a>';
}
echo '</center>';

Worked beautifully!! Thank you. Would a brief explanation be to much to ask? I would like to know what and why. But, thank you, thank you, thank you.

the reason is because when you close the center tag, it automatically forces the subsequent content to go onto a new line - it doesn't make sense for the content to left-align on the same line as the centered one, as you may get overlap and the content wouldn't be in the proper order.

Thank you for the explanation. That is extremely helpful.

Its worth mentioning too (because you seem oblivious to it) that the formatting of your output is done with html. PHP does nothing here but out html strings.
