string problem

[micky1955]

Help please - it's doing my head in!

 

i'm probably missing something here but have searched for an answer to no avail.

 

i'm using folder names on the server as links in a menu - to display thumbnail pics in chosen folder.

 

works fine as long as the folder name is in this format - 'abc_def_ghi_jkl' but not in this format 'abc def ghi jkl'.

 

the array $darr[] holds the folder name and will show it ok as a link but in the code shown $dirchoice only contains the folder name as far as the first space - ie. abc

 

Any ideas please?

<li><a href=<?php echo("$PHP_SELF?dirchoice=" . $darr[$x]) ?> ><?php echo($darr[$x]);?></a></li>

You need to put quotes around the URL in the "href"

<li><a href="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] . '?dirchoice=' . $darr[$x]) . '"><' . $darr[$x];?></a></li>

 

Actually, I would just echo the entire HTML string from within PHP:

<?php
echo '<a href="' . $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] . '?dirchoice=' . $darr[$x]) . '"><' . $darr[$x] . '</a></li>';
?>

Thanks for the reply - tried both versions but for some reason they screwed up my menu formatting in a big way.

 

Anyway, a bit rushed so i went for the easy route and used str-replace to replace the underscores from the folder names with spaces - it looks better in the menu list.

 

when 've more time i'll have another look at this and see why it messed up the css formatting.

 

Thanks again -
