Uneeded Multiple Results

Schwalbach

Ok, I am having a problem with my results of this file...The problem is this:
echo "finaltext=".stripslashes($result);

I need to echo something that I can have flash read, so I can't just use striplashes($result), I have to set something to equal that so I can read it...here is the weird problem with my output, it keeps repeating finaltext(everything else works fine)

finaltext= finaltext= finaltext= finaltext= finaltext= finaltext= finaltext= finaltext= finaltext= finaltext= finaltext=p13:does it work? of course it does! nicely done alldone=yesupdate=true

and the full php 🙂

<?php
$outReceive = "$outSend";
$filename = "shoutbox.txt";

$read=file($filename,'r');
$read=array_reverse($read);
for($i=0; $i<=count($read);$i++){
$result=$read[$i];
echo "finaltext=".stripslashes($result);
}



$fp = fopen($filename, "a"); // set up the open command
      $line = $outReceive."\n"; // what to write to .txt file
      $size = strlen($line);
      echo "alldone=yes"; //echo command for flash
      fputs($fp, $line, $size); // Put e-mail into file
      fclose($fp); // Close the file
echo "update=true";

?>

Thanks guys! 🙂

There must be a bunch of empty newlines in your text file. When you do array_reverse() they all come out first.

Well, the first time I checked that I could've swore that there were no lines, but of course there were...Now look what happens though:

I just really want finaltext to be a variable so flash can read it, not in the actual text or anything....thanks again

You don't need to have finaltext= in there at all, '\n' is the delimiter. PHP turns each line into an array index, which you can then reference however you want.

Ah sorry Flash is doing the processing. I can't believe that ActionScript doesn't have a similar function set to PHP 😉

So you don't know what to do about the problem?

Oh,

by the way, I have solved the extra finaltext's problems, but I still get a single finaltext at the beginning of each line. Is there a workaround to this, maybe so I don't have to include finaltext, anything guys?

Shrike

Yes look for a function in Actionscript similar to PHP's split() and split the file data into an array on the newline character.

Or use this http://www.actionscript.com/reference/phpobject_class.php

I have no idea what it is though, looks kinda funky 🙂

Hey, here's what i thought of:

Ok,

The problem is it is repeating each time that a new line is begun. Well, I decided to use a different variable, something like finaltextblahblah(make it long) Now, in php, make a script that says

eregi_replace("finaltextblahblah", " ", $string)

(I'm not sure if this is even close to right to the syntax)
but anyways, the thing I want to do, is read this text ONCE, then replace it. So like an if:
$var="finaltextblahblah"
if($var) now I get this far, but I need the script for if var shows up more than once, then eregi replace if it shows up more than once.....you know?
