How to restore broken lines in links in my PHP editor?

[qwikad.com]

What happens is the broken lines in links do not show correctly in my markdown editor. For instance the editor will not render

 border="0"

in this instance:

<a href="http://somedomain.com" rel="nofollow">

<img src="http://somedomain.com/images/someimage.png"
border="0"></a><br>

I need it to be on the same line as the rest of the link like this:

<a href="http://somedomain.com" rel="nofollow">

<img src="http://somedomain.com/images/someimage.png" border="0"></a><br>

Which php command can accomplish this?

Thanks!

Your question is unclear.
Please provide more information, and be as specific as possible.

• What do you want to accomplish?
• What have you already tried?
• What problems did you encounter?

Also, please be sure that you have included all relevant code and/or a link to the page in question.
You might also consider making a reduced test case using an online tool like jsfiddle.

What "markdown editor"?
"Markdown" is a text parser. Some WYSIWYG editors use markdown; if that's what you're talking about, please specify which editor you're using. Furthermore, you don't show any Markdown usage in your examples.

(Also, your title refers to a "PHP Editor", which -to me- implies a code editor or IDE, and seems entirely unrelated to what you talk about in the body of the thread.)

What do you mean by "broken lines"?
You seem to use "broken lines" to refer both to the border around the image, and to literal line breaks in your HTML markup (and, possibly, to the dotted outline normally displayed around hyperlinks). However, what you say below makes me suspect you don't really mean any of these.

What do you mean by "will not render"?
Both the examples you give are HTML markup, and are functionally equal. They will be rendered identically in any browser.

What "PHP"?
There is no PHP code in your examples. Are you referring to the Markdown parser itself?

---------------

If all you want to accomplish is this

<a href="http://somedomain.com" rel="nofollow">

<img src="http://somedomain.com/images/someimage.png" border="0"></a><br>

as opposed to this

<a href="http://somedomain.com" rel="nofollow">

<img src="http://somedomain.com/images/someimage.png"
border="0"></a><br>

(which is not, as you seem to be implying, "on the same line as the rest of the link")

Then just write it that way - no PHP, beyond, possibly, echo, is required.

Ok, I should have simply asked this. What php code should I use to get rid of new lines WITHIN a hyper link:

Original code:

<img src="http://somedomain.com/images/someimage.png"
border="0">

I want it to be:

<img src="http://somedomain.com/images/someimage.png" border="0">

Thanks!

"Hyperlinks" do not exist in PHP. Only text does. How is this text stored? Is it being generated by PHP? Is it on another page?

Are you attempting to reformat or parse HTML using PHP?


That's why traq's post asks for a lot of information. We can't understand how to answer without actually understanding what you're doing. On a technical level, it just doesn't make sense-- "hyperlinks" aren't in PHP, so you can't change them. You can probably indirectly accomplish that, but we'd need to know how you have set this up.



Regardless, if you can get it as a string, then you can use str_replace() to change line breaks to an empty string ''. Or you can using some form of regular expressions (probably the preg_ family of functions) to search out only things in text that looks like a URL, or something along those lines.

Of course it is done with preg_replace. The question is how?

[djr33]

I have no idea. Your questions/explanations aren't enough for us to help you with this.

You can look up a regex tutorial online and see the PHP.net manual for preg_replace.

Do you already have it as a string?

What exactly are the conditions (in terms understandable to a computer, not "hyperlinks") that would make this occur? [This will be your regex environment]

What do you want to replace in that environment? Just line breaks? [this will be added to your regex environment to make the "find" part]

When do you want to replace it with? Always just delete it? You can use an empty string-- ''. [this will be your "replace" part]



If you need more help, I imagine it will be with the regex for finding the environment. First, use google to see if someone has this code available (I'm sure there are at least some similar examples out there). Second, if you want our help with it, then be very precise about what is happening. Show us the "before" string (exactly as it exists in your PHP) and then what you want as the after string, including any variation that might come up.

Please re-read my earlier post - once you provide all the information I asked about (particularly your actual code), we'll have a foundation for helping you figure out the rest.



Please don't "simplify" the problem by leaving out contextual information/details that may be important. It is counter-productive.

From reading both your thread title and your original post, I suspect that your problem involves more than just your hyperlinks. I'll bet it involves the Markdown parser, and also a WYSIWYG editor of some sort on your webpage (therefore, indirectly, whatever markdown you actually enter into it, not to mention the form submission itself).

Here's a sample code from the file:

text = text.replace(/^[ \t]+$/mg,"");

I need a code that would remove all new lines between < and > in HTML links.

Thanks!

that's javascript code. Are we talking about javascript now?

I'm getting dizzy just reading this thread.

Traq and Dan are trying to help you, but sadly, you are providing only very small, incomplete snippets of information, which is resulting in us making wild guesses.

At the risk of further convoluting the thread with my own suggestions, maybe this will help? http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6...reaks-with-php
Again, a total guess as to what you really need, but we are doing our best to offer assistance with the little direction you're giving us.

To help things along, can you provide a small zip package of what you are trying to describe? Including your php/javascripts, along with the link to this php editor you speak of, would be most helpful. Or is there a developers site and demo - maybe even with online documentation or a forum - where you can direct us?

We can appreciate how frustrated you might be - you need help, and it must seem like we're being finickity or awkward with the amount of information we're asking for, but it really is so we can pin-point your problem and offer you the most efficient and relevant answers. Please try to remember that you are very close to your own project, whereas we are just outsiders looking in, and we need to get our bearings, and a good feel for what is going on, before we can be of any real help to you.

Until we have all the information upfront, we will be unable to give you any solid resolution. We're trying our best but everything to do with your project/problem is rather alien to us at the moment.
