Question about PHP syntax

reub77

I'm converting some ASP into PHP and in one instance of the ASP this is used chr().

This is exactly how it is used:

body = body + "Comments" + chr(13) + Request.Form("Comments") & chr(13)

I suppose chr(13) means 13 spaces. How would one code that in PHP? Does it have something similar?

Hi,

I think that [FONT=courier new]chr(13)[/FONT] means the same as [FONT=courier new]chr(13)[/FONT] in PHP.
If you want to repeat a space 13 times, try: [FONT=courier new]echo str_repeat(" ", 13);[/FONT]

I didn't write the original code so I guess it would be the same as in PHP. Is it line feed at character 13? And I guess would it look like this?

$body = "Email : " + .objupload.form.item("Email"). + chr(13);

Yes.

Do you have any idea what that objupload.form.item is doing? Any guesses? It seems out of place on the page because most of the form elements are being called with Request.Form().

Hi,

I can't write a single line ASP 😃, but I know how to code PHP.

Oh, well go away then. Just kidding

Actually, chr(13) is carriage return, not line feed. Linefeed is chr(10).

To know what objupload.form.item is, go to the initialization of objupload and see what type of variable it is. Then go to somewhere that has ASP docs and see the documentation for that variable/object type.
