string manipulation

[dzisaacs]

// i read this variable from the DB
$message = $db_Message

// i pass it to a function
echo "function($message)";

------

in the HTML it gets displayed like this

function('<H1>Hello</H1>
<P><FONT color=#ff0000>World</FONT></P>')

obviously this doesn't work for me because i need it to be like this


function('<H1>Hello</H1><P><FONT color=#ff0000>World</FONT></P>')

i need to do some manipulation in $message = $db_Message to have the string in this way <H1>Hello</H1><P><FONT color=#ff0000>World</FONT></P>
not this way
<H1>Hello</H1>
<P><FONT color=#ff0000>World</FONT></P>

any ideas?

"function($message)" is just a string. function($message) is a reference to a function. PHP interpolates variables inside quotes, not function refrences.

Try:

echo function($message);

You want to add a carriage return between </H1> and <P> correct?

Not to sound obtuse, but the browser wont mind if its </H1><P>
or </H1>
<P>

It's still going to render it the same, if you want the browser to add a line break after the header and before the paragraph. then add a <br> in between.

What is it you are trying to do?

Unknown has caused an Unknown Error on Unknown and must be shutdown to prevent damage to Unknown.

$message = str_replace("\r\n","",$msg_Message);

this is what fixed my problem....
