Lorem Ipsum Gen

[scrupul0us]

I use lorem Ipsum quite a bit for new sites... so i made a quick function to spill the beans

function lorem($it)
{
	if (!isset($it)){ $it=1;}
	$lorem='';
	$i = 1;

while ($i <= $it)
{
$lorem .= "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit. Donec vehicula. Morbi et diam ut orci porttitor consectetuer. Phasellus eros. Vestibulum ante ipsum primis in faucibus orci luctus et ultrices posuere cubilia Curae; Curabitur consectetuer nonummy odio. Praesent vel tortor. Sed consectetuer. Etiam vulputate dui nec orci. Nunc fermentum. Curabitur volutpat pede sed mauris blandit fringilla. Nullam vitae ligula. Suspendisse velit. Morbi ultricies urna nec velit. Nunc accumsan nunc et eros. Morbi laoreet, tortor at aliquet malesuada, eros elit consectetuer massa, nec nonummy sapien lacus at ligula. Nam adipiscing venenatis sapien.<br/><br/>";
$i++;
}

return $lorem;
}

To Call:

echo @lorem(); //Use @ to get around warning if no argument is passed

Instead of this...

if (!isset($it)){ $it=1;}

...why not just use a default value in the function declaration:

function lorem($it=1)

?

And instead of the loop,

$lorem = str_repeat($lorem_text, $it);

Hell, I'd go one step easier and just use this Lorum Ipsum generator. Why reinvent the wheel? 😛

b/c if while im developing this function is auto included with every project i work on then i dont have to stop what im doing, goto a website and copy/paste stuff over

also, when developing a framework, not having a huge block on nonsensical text in there makes my life easier...

reinventing the wheel, no... putting a tire on the wheel, yes

Besides, if people didn't reinvent wheels once in a while, all our cars would be riding on wooden wheels. 😉

Anyway, I guess I was a bit bored last night, so I came up with this version on my site (view source code). 🙂
