variable wont work unless typed ???

[scooby545]

hi guys,

 

am well confused by this one ... am trying to insert a piece of html code as a variable :

 

$code = "$rbel[mycode]";
$code = str_replace("\n", "", $code);
$code = str_replace("\r", "", $code);
$code = str_replace("'", "'", $code);
$code = str_replace('"', '"', $code);
$code = str_replace('<', '&#60;', $code);
$code = str_replace('>', '&#62;', $code);

echo'
<script type="text/javascript">

var code = "'; echo"$code"; echo'";

</script>
';

 

if i do the variable this way it echo's out in the html like so :

 

var code = "<P><TABLE style="BORDER-RIGHT: 0px; PADDING-RIGHT: 5px; BORDER-TOP: 0px; PADDING-LEFT: 5px; PADDING-BOTTOM: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: 0px; WIDTH: 650px; PADDING-TOP: 5px; BORDER-BOTTOM: 0px; BORDER-COLLAPSE: separate" align=center><TBODY><TR><TD style="BORDER-RIGHT: #aaaaaa 1px dashed; BORDER-TOP: #aaaaaa 1px dashed; BORDER-LEFT: #aaaaaa 1px dashed; BORDER-BOTTOM: #aaaaaa 1px dashed"> Single Column Text Element</TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE></P>";

 

but refuses to work ??

 

if i type the variable in manually like :

 

$code = "$rbel[mycode]";
$code = str_replace("\n", "", $code);
$code = str_replace("\r", "", $code);
$code = str_replace("'", "'", $code);
$code = str_replace('"', '"', $code);
$code = str_replace('<', '&#60;', $code);
$code = str_replace('>', '&#62;', $code);

$code = "&#60;P&#62;&#60;TABLE style=&#34;BORDER-RIGHT: 0px; PADDING-RIGHT: 5px; BORDER-TOP: 0px; PADDING-LEFT: 5px; PADDING-BOTTOM: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: 0px; WIDTH: 650px; PADDING-TOP: 5px; BORDER-BOTTOM: 0px; BORDER-COLLAPSE: separate&#34; align=center&#62;&#60;TBODY&#62;&#60;TR&#62;&#60;TD style=&#34;BORDER-RIGHT: #aaaaaa 1px dashed; BORDER-TOP: #aaaaaa 1px dashed; BORDER-LEFT: #aaaaaa 1px dashed; BORDER-BOTTOM: #aaaaaa 1px dashed&#34;&#62; Single Column Text Element&#60;/TD&#62;&#60;/TR&#62;&#60;/TBODY&#62;&#60;/TABLE&#62;&#60;/P&#62;";

echo'
<script type="text/javascript">

var code = "'; echo"$code"; echo'";

</script>
';

 

it works perfectly, yet echo's out the same in the html ?

 

am sure its somthing to do with the way php is treating the string, but dont know how to fix it 

 

any help would be greatly appreciated

You need to be sure there are no linefeeds in the resultant string that you expect javascript to understand

 

[scooby545]

what do you mean by linefeeds ?

[jl5501]

Newlines.

 

Does the line show as one line?

$code = str_replace("\n", "", $code);

$code = str_replace("\r", "", $code);

$code = str_replace("'", "'", $code);

$code = str_replace('"', '"', $code);

$code = str_replace('<', '&#60;', $code);

$code = str_replace('>', '&#62;', $code);

 

$code =  htmlentities($rbel['mycode'], ENT_QUOTES);

 

Can you not just do that?

[scooby545]

yeah all shoes as one line if i echo it out or type it in manually, which is what i cant understand.

If i echo the non working variable out and copy it from the html source code into the php to specify it manually it works like a charm ?

seems to be somthing to do with pulling the value from a mysql database and formatting it.

thankyou oni-kun

 

that bit of code is very usefull  still get the same problem with the code only working if i set the variable manually tho ??
