strlen and strlen

[karimali831]

Hi

 

If a string exceeds 65 characters then $show_all will return, what I want to achieve is to

return the whole string when I click on the hyperlink (more...) can someone help me do this please?

I do not want it to show the whole string and substr(getinput($ds['desc']),0, 65).$show_all

 

if(strlen($ds['desc'] < 65)) $show_all = '<a href="#">(more...)"</a>';

echo substr(getinput($ds['desc']),0, 65).$show_all;

 

thanks!

if(strlen($ds['desc'] < 65))
   $show_all = '<a href="?show=all">(more...)</a>';

if ( !isset($_GET['show']) )
{
   echo substr(getinput($ds['desc']),0, 65).$show_all;
}
else
{
   echo getinput($ds['desc']);
}

thanks this will work but won't be any good for what I need it for.

I am using a while loop to generate multiple rows from a table, so I need something like jquery, you click on "show all" and it will show you full text without pageload?

either echo all data to the page and hide it in a hidden DIV, displaying the DIV onclick. or use ajax to retrieve the additional information onclick.
