Thread: anyone any good at php?

First thing I'd check is you have all the (, ), " & ' closed. Sounds like a syntax error. My php is fairly rusty.

Hi DM

I have got round it by removing the \n \r out of the validation checks.. unfortunately i would like to get them back... as im sure they are there to stop spam usage of the script...

is your php rustier than my complete incompetence at code? im new to all this and am bumbling my way through!

Thanks

Steve

\n and \r are control characters that tell what ever displays the text to add in a new line. Depending on how your script looks at your text as to weather it sees them as escape characters or as string charaters. try changing your validation script from looking for escape charaters:

'\n' = newline (LF)
'\r' = carriage return (CR)

to looking for a \ character and a letter with '\\n' and '\\r' the leading backslash (\) cancels out the slash as a start of a escape character and makes it a regular backslash.

Hope that helps.
