Blank Lines Between Lines Of Text
how do i put a blank line between lines of text on my webpage using php

eg within my while loop

printf("<a href="%s?id=%s">%s %s %s %s </a><br>
",$PHP_SELF,$myrow["id"], $myrow["first"], $myrow["last"], $myrow["email"],$myrow["details"]);

printf("");//this is what i thought might workdoes not work.

Breaking Strings?
I have a string (actually 100's of these, but lets take one):

$string ="TI: Some journal title AU: SomeAuthor,-S; Smith,-A; Jones,-B SO: SomeSource. 2002 Jan 9; 287(2): 188; discussion 189-90 JN: Some Journal Title";

This needs to be turned into an array:

$entry = array(
'Some Item Title',
'SomeAuthor,-S; Smith,-A; Jones,-B',
'SomeSource. 2002 Jan 9; 287(2): 188; discussion 189-90',
'Some Journal Title');

As you can see, each array item should be defined by what comes after either/all of the following: 'TI:' 'AU:' 'SO:' 'JN:'

So, I need to be able to create a pattern that can look through the string and return everything in between TI: and AU:, then AU: and SO, etc.

for example:

eregi(???, $string, $entry);

I'm fairly new to this and can't seem to figure out the regex I need for the pattern. Is this even the way to go about it?

Breaking Out Of An Iframe
I cannot figure this one out. My script is being displayed in an iframe (a wiki page) and I have one option won't give me the correct results unless the page is displayed in either

a) new tab in NS browser
b) new browser instance.

The option in question is used to print forms, and I use the browser Print Preview for the page setup. It's all pretty useless if I have the page and iframe content in my preview.

I thought using header() would do the trick.

Breaking A Page Down.
What is the best solution to break down a php page into certain section using MySql, For example i'm looking at designing a page that reffers to a MySQL database that contains the html code for the navigation. So that in future if the navigation changes I'll only need to changed the html code in the database and all the pages will be sorted. I'm also looking at doing the same for the information on the footer of the page, with teh contact details.

Breaking Out Of Quotes
I know I can use stuff like in front of " so that it can't break out of a "" and start doing bad things, but it seems there are other situations where, E.G., if the string is hex for " then it has the same effect, and stuff like that, and it gets tricky escaping it all, so I'm wandering, is there some kind of option I can enable or extension I can install that just simply prevents objects/variables/arrays from breaking out of single/double quotes and also for mysql queries?

And also for html so E.G. echo"<img src='$asdf'>"; can't be exploited to do other things? I don't care if it isn't free as long as it works good and isn't to expensive..

Breaking Up Querys
I have a page that updates a table every workday. (these are standard updates, like if someone has moved, or has a different phone number or something.)  It is too big of a query to run the entire table all at once, so it is split out. 

The split is grouped by the first letter of a first name field.  Right now it is broken up into 5 parts, and each part has a group of letters (i.e. "a" to "d" is one group, "e" to "k" is the next, and so on.  As you can see, these do not have an even number of letters, but that is because some letters have a lot more entries, and need to be in smaller groups.) 

The reason it is split out into 5 groups is that I can run one group on each workday (Monday through Friday), and I can have the PHP check what day of the week it is.  (I use a case statement, the first case is for Monday, the second is for Tuesday, etc.) Code:

I want;

result result result result result
result result result result result
result result result result result
result result result result result

XML Parser Breaking Up URLs
I'm having a problem parsing an xml file in which one of an elements character data is a url which contains multiple "&" characters. For some reason the parser breaks up the data into multiple pieces. For instance, when I call this function(abbreviated):

function characterDataHandler ($parser, $data)
{
global $element;
global $url;
if ($element == "URL") {
$url = $data;
echo "url=".$url."<br>";
}
}

I get some output like this:


url=http://www.somewebsite.com/index.jsp?s=af

url=&

url=filter=1

url=&

url=show=all


Do urls with querystrings have to be handled differently then regular character data?

Characters Breaking My Query
Im using encrypted data to store cc info. The PHP code encrypts and sends the result to the database. the problem is that the encrypted string contains lots of characters that will break my sql query. I can do a replace but there are lots of characters.

for example, a character will look like this:

g%$^'GDF$%^//"@#$%/||''$#"/|#dfsa.

how can I put this information in a different format... and then retrieve the data to decrypt the string?

Not Breaking Loop In Function
I get this error: <b>Fatal error</b>: Cannot break/continue 1 levels in <b>file.php</b> on line <b>128</b><br>

This happens when I call a function. In the function there is a break; This is cause the break is in a function and not in the loop. But it gets called inside the loop. Is there a fix for this?

Script Breaking On Mysql_result
I was trying to figure out why one of my scripts was failing and by using an "or die" statement for the SQL narrowed it down to this bit of code:

$md5 = md5_file("swf/" . basename($jpg_link));
$dupe = mysql_result(mysql_query("select count(gId) from games where gSwfFile='$md5.swf"), 0);
if(!empty($dupe))
{
continue;
}

This is giving the following error - "Warning: mysql_result(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource"

The thing is, I've checked that SQL query by running other values in place of $md5 through it and it appears to be fine. 

select count(gId) from games where gSwfFile='Flat War july 30th 2007.swf';
Any ideas?

Breaking Survey Into Seperate Parts?
I have a very long survey form with 4 different sections. Is there anyway with php to split this form into 4 popup windows so the person can click on the section they wish to fill out and when they are done, go back to the host survey form and continue on? I know there must be a way to do it, i'm just at a loss as to how i would pass the variables off? Cookies perhaps?

Breaking Up Text For Multiple Pages
I was recently put in charge of heading up my company's website, and
while I have a lot of experience on the design side of things, I'm
still very new to the programming side. When I started, the website had
just gotten a revision, but the site was an utter mess, so I've been
trying to fix it up. As I've gone along, I've learned some aspects of
PHP, but my knowledge is still very limited.

Here is the problem I'm trying to fix. A backend is used to enter
information into our MySQL database, and then a page template pulls it
out to make the page. For our reviews, the PHP coding currently breaks
up the review's text so that it can be places across multiple pages.
The problem is, the way the text breaking was set up, the end of one
page and the beginning of the next are totally chaotic, with breaks
often coming mid-sentence.

Here is what I'd love: other coding automatically puts an HTML break at
the end of paragraphs, and then another in the space between one
paragraph and the next. I'd love to have the code search for when those
double breaks come up, and then break up the text after, say, every
sixth pair of HTML breaks. I'd also like the option to break the text
myself by putting in some sort of text code in the original text. At
this point, though, anything that can make the breaks more elegant
would be a huge improvement.

I really appreciate any help anybody can give me in this one. Please
remember that I know very little of PHP, and I'm not much of a
programmer anyhow, so things that you may take for granted that people
would understand about PHP, I might not know.

I tried to pull out what I thought was the current coding for the text
break. Here it is. I'd also like to get rid of the part1/part2 factor.
Before, they had the text breaking to help in fitting into the layout
around an image, but I've fixed that so I no longer need the break. So,
that portion no longer needs to be a factor.

if ($page == ""){
$page = 1;
}
$no_letters = strlen($Game_Full_Story);
$times = ($no_letters / 3800) +1;
$Game_Full_Story = wordwrap($Game_Full_Story,3800,"*#^");
$Game_Full_Story = explode ("*#^", $Game_Full_Story);
$pages = array();
for ($i=0; $i<$times ; $i++){
$part[$i] = $Game_Full_Story[$i];
if ($i != 0){
array_push($pages, $i);
}
}
$page = $page-1;
$story = $part[$page];
if (strlen($story) < 460){
$parts1 = $story;
}else{
$story = wordwrap($story,460,"*#^");
$story = explode ("*#^", $story);
$parts1 = $story[0];
$count = count($story);
$parts2="";
for ($i=1; $i<$count; $i++){
$parts2 .=$story[$i];
$parts2 .=" ";
}
}

Breaking Up A String Into Individual Words
I have a text box that I will use to search a database. I would like
to use it so that it will not use a whole string (ie. 'red striped
top') but instead break it up into individual words (ie. 'red',
'striped', 'top') and maybe put it into and array. I will then use the
words in the array to search the database.

How do I break a string up this way?

Also, is this the most common way of creating a means of searching a
database?

---

Breaking Up The Query String Dynamicly?
using $Get_string = $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING']; to receive a query string such as
month=may&$day=15&year=2006

so that $Get_string = "month=may&$day=15&year=2006"

can I separate the values and turn them into variables? (like a normally would with a url get)

$month = "may"
$day= "15" etc

it would be great to just do $_GET on the url but I'm sending the string as a variable to another script... so i can't just go the easy route.

---

Breaking The BACK Button (Refresh Problem)
I have a php page which serves up multiple pages based on how the user
interacts with it - there are links on the first page that will reload (from
the same php file) a new page with form fields and submit buttons, and when
a user posts from that new page (or cancels), then the same php file is
again loaded, detecting how the user responded and generating the
appropriate html for whatever should be none next. All very typical.

What I want to know is, is there a way so that once a user has posted from
some submit button from one page (we'll say he Cancel's from a page that had
a form Cancel button so he returns to the original non-form default page
generated from the php file), can it be made so if the user then "refreshes"
the new page (hits the Refresh or Reload browser button) he does NOT get the
browser's "The page cannot be refreshed without resending the information.
Click Retry to send the information again, or click Cancel to return to the
page that you were trying to view." dialog? In other words, what I'd like is
a way to have the browser think that there was no posting done (even though
there was) once I've generated this certain 'home' page with my php code, so
that user ReLoad's of the page won't get this warning.

This is probably related also to problems I've had with "breaking the BACK
button" on sequences of php pages: if the user BACK's up to a page that was
generated by a post, it may not even be possible to regenerate the original
page.

Return Data Breaking Input Field

How To Number 42 Lines 1-14
I have 3 sonnets (14-line poems, fyi) in a file without blank lines and I want to tack line numbers onto the end of each line so that the first 14 lines will be numbered 1-14, as will the second 14 lines and the third. I've exploded the file by "
" so that I have each line as an array value. I've been using various loop fuinctions (for, foreach, while) to try to put individual numbers at the end of each corresponding line, but something either loops too much or not at all.

This is just an example. I know I could number 42 lines by hand, but I'd like an automated system to do it for much more line numbers.

Can I Read TextFiles By Lines With PHP
I will get via a submit button a lot of data to my PHP Script.
Every variable contains a number which leads to line number in a textfile(readonly).

It seems to be quite easy:

i have my filepointer and then i thought the command "fgets" is doing this job for me but when i try $buffer=fgets($myFilePointer, $myLineNumber); i will just get the amount of characters from the first line defined in $myLineNumber.

It seems to be so easy. How are you dealing with standard .conf Files? There they are doing the same (f.e. httpd.conf).

How To Loop Through Lines In A File?
I have an array ($data_array) and I want to compare each line of a text file
($counter_file) to each element of the array (the array and the file are in
sync line-for-line). But the file is very big and I don't want to read the
entire file into an array.

In the interest of efficiency, I thought I'd open the file as read only and
loop through and compare each line to the array - since I have to open the
file later in append mode, I thought something like this would work. But
how do I advance the pointer to the next line in the file as the loop
increments?

$fp = fopen($counter_file, "r");
for (i=0; i < count($data_array); i++)
{
$recent_visit = fgets($fp); //<<== * ?
// * how to go to next line as i increments?
if ($recent_visit < TIME1h)
{
$dup_line = explode("|", $data_array[i])
$dup_ip = trim($dup_line[i]);
if ($visip == $dup_ip) //no dupes within one hour
{
exit;
}
}
else
{
break;
}
}
$fp = fopen($counter_file, "a");
[append stuff to counter_file here]

thought the following script (which I wrote with the intention of
replacing all such lines with the empty string) would but apparently it
doesn't:
