space character

chuckury

Whats the equivalent of the \n to a space character. If you dont understand I mean if theres a space but it doesnt show what would be the character so I can replace it with &"nbsp"; ?
(Without the ""s)
Thanks

Just type a space, like this: " "

\n isn't a space. It's a new line.....

Lol I know that, but what is it a CSS2 character?

and the " " doesnt work!

if you replace every space with &nbsp; then your lines will not break since you have replaced all the breaking characters (spaces) with non-breaking characters (nbsp). What I recommend is this instead:

<?php

$str = "this space stays a space, these  spaces become nbsp";

str_replace("  ","&nbsp;&nbsp;",$str);

echo $str;
?>

This will have the same net effect on the output but it will leave single spaces alone so that the text still wraps properly.

The str_replace(" ","  ",$str); does work, but you might use the ascii-code instead.

$str = str_replace(" "," ",$str);
$str = str_replace(CHR(13)," ",$str);
$str = str_replace(CHR(12)," ",$str);

// clean duplicates
for($a=0;$a<4;$a++) {
$str = str_replace("  "," ",$str);
}
