using string functions

rakennedy75

Here is my problem, I am taking two fields and adding them together using the string functions: str_replace() and substr().

It is printing out with quotations. I am not sure how to get it so the quotes aren't there.
This is how it prints on screen: ex:
• "AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
• LEATHER SEATS
• AIR CONDITIONING
• POWER STEERING
• POWER BRAKES
• POWER WINDOWS
• POWER LOCKS"

here is the code, can anyone let me know if they know how to fix this.
Thanks for you time..

$query = "SELECT * FROM .......  

 		if ($result = mysql_query($query, $connection)) {
	     	while ($a_row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) { 

			if ($a_row['description1'] != ""){
				$options1 = "&#8226; ".$a_row['description1']."";
 				$options2 = $a_row['description2'];
    			$options2 = substr("$options2", 0, -1);
				$options2 = substr("$options2", 1);
				$newOptions =  $options1.$options2;
				$newOptions1 = str_replace(",", "<br><br> &#8226; ", $newOptions); 
} else {
				$newOptions1 = "<center>NO OPTIONS<br> CURRENTLY LISTED</center>";
}

echo "".$newOptions1."";
} 
   }

Seems maybe you had stuff a little too scrunched up 🙂

Here it worked just fine... If this is what you're looking for anyways...

<?php
$a_row['description1'] = "This is just a description";
$options1 = "&#8226; " . $a_row['description1'] . " ";
echo $options1;
?>

It outputted this EXACTLY: * This is justa description
