Create_function() And Escape Character Question
I'm just learning php now for the first time and I'm having a little trouble understanding something. In the following example: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ <?php function test ($thenum) { $funct = create_function("$thenumber", "return ($thenumber+5);"); echo $funct($thenum); } test(5); ?> ------------------------------------------------------------------------ I don't understand why the escape characters are necessary here. I understand that the create_function() function requires its parameters to be in string format, but if my $thenum variable is an integer and not a string, why is the necessary? Furthermore, why does this next single quote version work without the : ------------------------------------------------------------------------ <?php function test ($thenum) { $funct = create_function('$thenumber', 'return ($thenumber+5);'); echo $funct($thenum); } test(5); ?> ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Is this behavior something I will encounter often in php, because I never had this confusion doing javascript or actionscript?

Escape Tags In A String
I have a complete file in a single-line string. Now this string also contains <? and ?> or other script-tags. Of course if I "print" or "echo" the string the php won't be interpreted. But that is exactely what I want. I want scripts like PHP to be executed when I print that string e.g. in a template.

Character At Certain Point In String
My database has a large number of prices. (e.g. £1339.95, £1298.54 etc.) each of which is separated according to size - i.e. the thousands are in one section, the hundreds in another etc. BUT - for visual presentation I want to enter a comma into all my prices. I personally feel that £1,298.54 looks much better than £1298.54, certainly more professional. I need to keep the size of coding right down so my current: $a[example2] = str_replace("£1", '£1,', $a[example1]); $a[example2] = str_replace("£2", '£2,', $a[example2]); $a[example2] = str_replace("£3", '£3,', $a[example2]); etc. is pretty lengthy. Is there a command to enter characters at a certain point in the string?

Character Sets Or Multibyte String Function?
I would prefer to store HTML extended characters in the database as UTF-8, but I can only get the HTML to display properly if I store character entities (eg. ø). Every table in my database is set to UTF-8. The web page generated by PHP is declared as UTF-8. The HTTP response header from the server is UTF-8. The character set of the database connection is defined as UTF-8. I've tried using the PHP function "htmlentities" to convert the characters, but it doesn't work for the complete UTF-8 character set. What am I missing? Do I need to do something with the Multibyte string functions?

"Short Description" : String Character Limit
I am in the process of redesigning a web site for my work, we sell many products on eBay and are looking to sell multiple items on the site. I was thinking about doing a 3x3 display of random products on the front page, which I can code with no problems. The "short description" shown on the front will be taken from the complete description of the product, but will need to be limited to a certain amount of characters (to keep each product display a reasonable size). The problem is that the ending character for the "short description" will not always be the end of the word. I need to figure out how to validate that it is the end of a word, even if it exceeds the character limit. I just don't want to end up with partial words.

Using Query String
I do understand you can use get, post and session(maybe cookie as well?) to pass the variables. But I would like to know whether you can just create url manually, without having a submit button to generate the url in a form. Because I if I do this in a form it will always direct to only one webpage. What I want to do is create multiple links which could link to different pages,(not a single page) on just one form, so each link will direct to differnt page, with variables' values specified(set). I tried to search for a function which does this job on google, but I couldn't find it. Another question is, once the target page sees this url, can we retrieve the values nicely?
