[SOLVED] ECHO problem

[Miss-Ruth]

When I call "category" the entire ECHO items load.!!!!

 

How should I adjust this code to load each item seperately. will something like a /n would do it???

 

{

echo "category=".$line["category"];

echo "namez=".$line["namez"];

echo "CN1=".$line["col1"];

}

Hi Miss-Ruth,

 

It depends on where you are outputting this info (on an HTML page or via XML) but adding a line break will work if you're echoing to HTML.

 

Change your code to read:

 

{
echo "category=".$line["category"]."<br/>";
echo "namez=".$line["namez"]."<br/>";
echo "CN1=".$line["col1"]."<br/>";
}

 

Hope this helps.

Thanks Bricktop!!!

what if it's in XML??

 

could any adjustments be done to the echos, so it out puts seperatly. I've assigned variables. but when I call them it all loads as a single line!!!

PHP outputs things exactly as you tell it to. If you want newlines, HTML line breaks, tab characters, etc. you'll have to add it yourself.

 

If you said 'output "foo" then output "bar"', it would be incorrect if it output "foo\nbar", "foo<br />bar", "foo<br>bar" or anything different from "foobar".

Thanks Daniel.

 

But since I'ev assigned varianles here (for each echo), shouldn't it load only the one assigned to it?

 

but here it's a 'foobar'!!

Hi Miss-Ruth,

 

Your echo command as it stands:

 

{
echo "category=".$line["category"]."<br/>";
echo "namez=".$line["namez"]."<br/>";
echo "CN1=".$line["col1"]."<br/>";
}

 

Will echo all three variables regardless of what's assigned to what. 

 

With XML try using /n to create a linebreak, like so:

 

{
echo "category=".$line["category"]."/n";
echo "namez=".$line["namez"]."/n";
echo "CN1=".$line["col1"]."/n";
}

 

If you only want "category" to be echo'd just do:

 

{
echo "category=".$line["category"];
}

 

But I'm not sure what implications this will have on your application, you may want the other data to be echo'd out.

That help me solve my prob!

 

As always - Thanks Bricktop!! <3

With XML try using /n to create a linebreak, like so:

 

It's \n though, not /n.
