Switch - New row problem.

[Anon]

I am learning switch etc. I am trying to format a text to the way I wan´t it (a KD formatter for those who play Utopia) and the problem is this: I copy this text from a site and then I will try to format into readable text. But the words that are the first ones on new rows doesn´t work like "Total" or "any" all other words in the text are working just fine. Is there some fault in my "case "Total":"?

$startpos = strpos ($description, "There are");
$text2 = substr ("$description", $startpos);
?>

<?
$array = split('\ ', $text2);
foreach ($array as $s){

switch ($s){
	case  "Total":
		echo ("Total <br>");
	break;
default:
echo ("$s "); }}

---

The text looks like this:

There are currently 25 provinces in the kingdom of Warriors of Absalom (6:37).
Total Networth: 9,184,491 gc

Any Green province is under Utopian Protection.

Well,

First of all, when in a switch() statement, you should enclose actions in { .. }, i.e.

--
switch ($s) {
case 1: { print "ONE!"; break; }
default: { print 'DEFAULT'; break; }

}

Now, that set aside, I modified your code a little bit, and put echo("'$s' <br>"); in the 'default', instead of echo("$s ");. This gave me each word on a single line, and the word enclosed by ''. Look at a portion of it;

--
'(6:37).'
' Total'

'Networth:'

That is, the string returned from the split is ' Total' instead of 'Total'. If you remove the leading and trailing spaces using the trim() function, it works perfectly. (i.e. $s = trim($s)😉.
