str_replace

[beezZa]

The premise of this script is to use the str_replace command to replace place holders that are within a rtf file (a resume for this example). $keystrengthX is a variable that contains what was entered in the database for this value. If nothing was entered then the variable is equal to "" (nothing).

After the script is run and i open up the RTF file ($output) the line i wanted to replace is still there (for this example that line is a row inside a table, inside a rtf file).

I dont know if $search parameter (what is being replaced) has to be less than 255 or if im doing something very wrong, any help is appreciated.

$keystrength9

if($keystrength9 == "")
	{
		$output = str_replace("\clbrdrl\brdrw10\brdrs\brdrcf1\clbrdrt\brdrw10\brdrs\brdrcf1\clbrdrb\brdrw10\brdrs\brdrcf1 \cellx4680\clbrdrl\brdrw10\brdrs\brdrcf1\clbrdrt\brdrw10\brdrs\brdrcf1\clbrdrr\brdrw10\brdrs\brdrcf1\clbrdrb\brdrw10\brdrs\brdrcf1 \cellx9468\pard\intbl\nowidctlpar\fi-360\li720\bullet [keystrength9]\cell\bullet [keystrengthTEN]\cell\row", "", $output) ;
	}
	else{
		$output = str_replace("[keystrength9]", $keystrength9, $output) ;
		if($keystrength10 == "")
		{
			$output = str_replace("\bullet [keystrengthTEN]", "", $output) ;
		}
		else{
			$output = str_replace("[keystrengthTEN]", $keystrength10, $output) ;
		}
	}

[/b] has a special meaning in double-quoted strings (it's the escape character). If you want to to literally mean [/b], you'll have to either escape it and use \, or use single-quoted strings.

Otherwise \r, for example, won't mean "backslash lowercase-r", it will mean "carriage-return".
