PHP Write to html file and create breaks.

[Nightmare61]

Okay, so I have...

 

Write .php

<?
if(isset($_POST['write_file'])) {

$name = $_POST['name'];
$suggestion = $_POST['suggestion'];
$fp = fopen("ideas.html", "a");
fputs($fp, "$name\t$suggestion\n");
fclose($fp);
echo 'Thank you, Your suggestion has been submitted';
  } else {
die;
}
?>

 

index.php

<title> W.I.P Ideas </title>
<center>

<form method="POST" action="write.php">
<input type="hidden" name="write_file" value="true">
IRC Nick:
<input type="text" name="name" size="25">
<br>
<textarea name="suggestion" rows=25 cols=40>
</textarea>
<br>
<input type="Submit" name="B1" value="Click To Submit">

 

Okay, I've got this, Now how to I made it so that when it writes to ideas.html it'll write it with <br's> so that I can use

<?php include('/home/benny/public_html/wip/ideas.txt'); ?>

On the index file so that it'll print it out as ideas.txt or ideas.html is...

 

Any help will be a treat, thanks.

Depends on what you're doing.

 

If you're simply going to write it to HTML, you can embbed the <br> tags within your php code.

 

echo "<br>bla bla <br>"

 

If your goal is to replace the \n with <br> then you can run a string replace command to accomplish that.

To convert \n to <br>'s look into www.php.net/nl2br  a bit easier than str_Replace as it is already done for you.

 

Also if you are writing it to a file, why not just instead of using \n use < br />\n ?? or just < br /> ???
