[Resolved] Syntax issues

pinehead18

I need a little bit of help with some syntax issues.

basically i need to take 
echo 'Print HTML for '.join('<br />', explode(',', $picid)).'<br />'; 

and turn it into $table . = "Print HTML for '.join('<br />', explode(',', $picid)).'<br />'; 

without a city of parse errors

Thanks
Anthony

what? just replace echo eith $table .= and al should go fine....

SuperCam

$table .= 'Print HTML for '.join("<br />", explode(",", $picid)).'<br />';

like moonglobe said, that's it... except you might have to change the quotes from single to double as i did.

Moonglobe

actually it'd be easier with

$table .= 'Print HTML for '.str_replace(',','<br />', $picid).'<br />';

pinehead18

why is <br />', inside the str_replace?

Moonglobe

because you're replacing all commas with XHTML line breaks....

pinehead18

no i want it to basically create a new <td><tr> after every picid is displayed.. where would i enter that?

Sorry for all the noob questions 🙁

Moonglobe

maybe it would help if you actually told us what you are trying to acheivee here? im a little confused right now. some more code would help too.

well here is my code

$sql = "SELECT * FROM users where user='$name'";
$result = mysql_query($sql) or die(mysql_error());

while($arr = mysql_fetch_array($result))
{
    $pics[] = $arr["add_picts"];
}
foreach($pics as $picid)
{
$table .= ''.str_replace(',','<br />', $picid).'<br />';

}

My goal is to be able to input some html into $table so i can format how it looks when it loops. LIke add an a href=url/$pidid or what not. See what i'm saying?

I guess my main prob is all the parse errors

Moonglobe

what parse errors are you getting? noone can help you if you dont tell us what's going wrong.

pinehead18

Well the problem is i dont' know where or how to insert it into the $table code becuase of the way the ' "';s are setup.

pinehead18

$table .= ''.str_replace(',','<br />', <a href=http://c.com/images/$picid).'<br />';

thats an example where i get a parse err and what i want to do.
