Traverse And Insert Page Breaks?
My website is going to host various and future pieces of my writing. Some of the pieces are going to be very long, so I need to split them up over multiple pages. I have an input form through which I can type or paste a piece of writing and have it inserted into MySQL. What I need now is to have PHP automatically insert page breaks before the piece is inserted.
I was told I could use regular expressions, or I could use PHP to traverse the string and insert a page break, say, after 1400 characters so long as it ends on a period.
I know of str_replace, but how do I set it go a certain amount of characters? This whole pagination thing has me completely stumped. I'm not looking to paginate display results. I'm displaying one result split up in pages.

Traverse Directories
My problem is that I can't find a way of referencing files and includes statically. I have to change each page reference so that when it is referenced it references the correct document. As I want a central location to keep all my most used 'includes'. So if I change a scripts location I also have to change the script it's self to point to the correct documents. This is a problem when the directory structures hierarchy keeps changing. Also HTTP referencing is out as the scripts will not all be run on the same servers.

Reports With Page Breaks For Printing
Is there a simple solution for generating mysql db reports with php? I can make tables but I'd like to make something that partitions the pages properly for printing. I've looked at some of the sw packages on the web and they either look too complicated or too simple (it's not just a table dump - there is some processing involved). I guess I'm looking for a tutorial to do it myself. I just don't know how to format teh output for printing. I could wing it by trial and error but if I'm going by number of rows or somethign to cutoff the page a single line wrap in a row would throw it all off. So far my db is just php/mysql with standard html (tables and stuff). I haven't gotten into css yet but I'm guessing I could need it to make this work. Any help is greatly appreciated !! Oh if it wasn't clear I'm talkign about reports users can generate through the website. They don't have to design the report, just view a report with the current db data. I'll design the report formats.

Creating .xls And .doc Files With Page Breaks Using PHP / MySQL
Our company currently processes a few hundred form submissions through our site. Up till now, the contents of the form has been sent to our customer support staff in real-time. Each submission goes to a general e-mail box where it's printed through our mail client. A copy of the form is also stored in a MySQL db, although it's not used that often. I have been asked to figure out a way to stop delivering the form submissions in real-time and migrate to the following: Each morning, provide an Excel spreadsheet and word document (or PDF) with a certain number of form submissions to each customer support rep. For example, say 200 form submissions were processed the day before. This morning, I should split those 200 among the 5 support reps and provide each of them a certain amount (which can change daily). Assuming each person gets 40 form submissions, each person would need to be given an excel file and .doc document that contains their 40 form submissions. One of the most important things is that the .doc file needs to have each form submission separated by a page break, so that when they print the document each form submission is printed on a separate page. Finally, not all of the fields from the form submission should be given to the support rep. Maybe date and time is left off.

OOP Page: Where To Put Update, Insert, Delete
I have a page that shows info from MySQL. It is for an online education site. It uses different classes arranged in a hierarchy. Each lesson is roughly laid out like this: Lesson |-Intro | |-Section | |-Procedure | |-text, video, images | |-Section | |-Procedure | |-text, video, images | |-Summary I have all the classes working properly for displaying info from the database. Now I am building the admin site. Where should I put the update/insert/delete code? Would those go inside the classes? Should I use the lesson object when doing the maintenance? Or, should I just have a separate page that handles the database stuff and only use the objects to display the data from the database?

(H) In Line Breaks
I have a cell phone with full internet access. I have an HTML page that I wrote specifically for use on my cell phone. It uses PHP's fopen() to open files on my server and then displays the contents of the file I opened using a <textarea>. This allows me to update my site from my cell phone. It works fine from a browser on my computer, but when I use it to open a file from my cell phone, all the line breaks are preceded by this character that looks like a copywrite symbol, but with an (H). Extended ASCII 233 according to http://www.asciitable.com . I write the pages in Dreamweaver MX initially, which gives me a few options about how to write line breaks (either for Linux, Windows, or Mac; CR, LF, CR LF) but I need my files to work on all three of my operating systems, since I use a Mac a home, a PC at school, and my server is Linux. I'm guessing that my computer is writing CR LF and my cell phone is interpreting it using a different character set where 233 means this (H) thing instead of CR. But how can I get rid of these characters? Possibly, could I use PHP to check the user-agent of the client to find out whether it's a cell phone, then replace all CRLFs with just LFs? And would I need to put them back in afterwards? If so, how?

Too Many Breaks Lines

I will edit these pages 50 times or more a year so you can see why I need to limit to one <br />. nl2br is needed because I will cut and paste some stuff to transfer the data, and later on it's easier to add stuff. I think it can be done but he's having some problems with this. How can the <br /> lines be limited to just one? What can I "suggest"?

Converting Line Breaks To <br /> And <p> </p>

My problem is converting line breaks to <br /> and <p></p>. An example database stored entry: <h2>A Testing title!</h2> A list: <ul> <li>Item 1</li> <li>Item 2</li> <li>Item 3</li> </ul> Another paragraph. This is how I'd like it to be displayed to viewers: <h2>A Testing title!</h2> <p>A list:</p> <ul> <li>Item 1</li> <li>Item 2</li> <li>Item 3</li> </ul> <p>Another paragraph.</p> I've tried: nl2br and replacing double '<br />' to '</p><p>', but this messes up the HTML lists and sometimes H tags. What I really want is a nl2br function that doesn't work between block level elements.

For Loops.....code Breaks
I'm trying to read an excel worksheet (with more than 5000 rows and 30 columns) using PHP. I'm using the "excelreader" script I found over the web - http://sourceforge.net/projects/phpexcelreader/. Seems to me, the script reads the values in all cells correctly and stores the total number of rows and columns existing in the worksheet (For example, in the excel file I'm using - total rows: 5375 and cols: 37). The problem is when I try to print the values as a HTML table (using two for loops), the script prints only first 236 rows and stops execution. The following is the code snippet I use: for ($i = 1; $i <= $data->sheets[0]['numRows']; $i++) { echo "<TR>"; for ($j = 1; $j <= $data->sheets[0]['numCols']; $j++) { echo "<TD>".$data->sheets[0]['cells'][$i][$j]; } echo "<BR>"; } I've also set the script execution time to 5-10 mins using "set_time_limit" function, but the script still ends after printing 236 rows (takes less than a minute). I spot checked the cell values by printing values from 300 to 500, 5200 to 5375 etc. The values seems to okay and stored correctly in the arrays. From what I understood, the for loops doesn't execute completely and I don't understand why? I've also created a small test script to see if the loops work and the following code breaks...I don't see a output. <?php set_time_limit(300); for ($i = 1; $i <= 5000; $i++) { for($j = 1; $j <= 40; $j++) { $data[$i][$j] = "mycell - $i$j"; //. ($i * $j); } } echo "PRINTING TABLE....<BR>"; echo "<table border=Ƈ'>"; for ($i = 1; $i <= 1000; $i++) { echo "<TR><TD>[$i]"; for($j = 1; $j <= 20; $j++) { echo "<TD>". $data[$i][$j]; } echo "<BR>"; } echo "</table>"; ?>

Textarea Line Breaks Without Using <p>?

Email Messages With Odd Breaks
I'm creating a PHP form handler that will send an email to a user based on form entries (a rather standard procedure). I've never had any problems with this type of programming challenge before; however, this is a very complex form. I save all of the form's data in a single variable named $mailout and then call the mail() function with $mailout as the body. The information I'm sending is about 1200 characters long. I noticed that in the email the user receives, there is an odd break at about character 1000. It reads something like this: Style: Red tu! dor with attached garage Everything else looks correct. The first 1000 characters are right and any remaining characters are right. It's just at about character 1000 I get an exclamation point and then the data continue on the next line (with a small indent). I thought that maybe there was some sort of limit to the size of the PHP variable, so I broke $mailout into two pieces, both well under the magic size limit. That did not help. I thought that maybe the mail() function was somehow breaking up this message, so I created a small routine to write the output directly to sendmail. That didn't help. I wonder if this is a sendmail issue. Does anyone know of any reason why I'm getting this odd break in my messages and how I can fix it?
