So I have this MySQL database and a table and in the rows there a lot of "," in them, and I wish when they are output on the screen with PHP to be switched to "
" instead of coma, how do I do that?
I mean, this is a example, it stands like this: hello,no,thanks and instead of being output like that I would like it to be output as:
hello
no
thanks
How do I do that? Could someone do it for me? Would be very friendly.
Assuming there are no CSV quoting issues:
$newStr = str_replace( ',', '<br>', $string );
EDIT:
After seeing your rollback, i see that you actually want to replace the ,
with a newline
character such as \r
, \n
or \r\n
:
$newStr = str_replace( ',', "\n", $string );
$str = 'asdf,asdf';
$str = str_replace(',','<br />',$str);
Do a php str_replace.
$final_data = str_replace(",","<br />",$row["data"]);
Use str_getcsv()
to make sure the escaped commas are processed correctly.
Code:
$input = "hello,no,thanks";
$array = str_getcsv($input);
$result = implode("\n",$array);
Output
hello
no
thanks
Just use str_replace
$my_output = str_replace(",", "<br />", "no,thanks,text,text");
You could try the MySQL REPLACE function to have the data come back from your query already formatted like this:
Example:
select replace(column_with_commas_in_strings,',','<br />') as new_string
from some_table;
In your case, something like:
$result = mysql_query("SELECT replace(alias,',','<br />') as ALIAS FROM characters WHERE namn = 'Jargon'");
