so, i am, for unknowably complicated reasons, using php to generate a .js file that contains a MASSIVE string literal that I obtain from a form and write to the file. Due to the JS long string bug (whereby any string that spans multiple lines in a file creates an error) I took my huge php string and removed all instances of "\n" and added "\"\n+\"" every hundred characters... however, when i fwrite the string, i get newlines in places other than they should be. I'm on windows if that is a factor (i.e. \n\r vs. \n).
here's the php in question... summary and artical are the huge strings:
<?php
include("protect.php");
$filename = "newsData.js";
$date = addslashes(nl2br($_POST[date]));
$title = nl2br($_POST[title]);
$summary = nl2br($_POST[summary]);
$artical = nl2br($_POST[artical]);
$bugfix = "\"\n+\"";
$date = str_replace("\n","",$date);
$title = str_replace("\n","",$title);
$summary = str_replace("\n","",$summary);
$artical = str_replace("\n","",$artical);
if(strlen($summary)>100)
for($i=100;$i<strlen($summary);$i+=104)
{
$summary = substr_replace($summary, $bugfix, $i, 0);
}
if(strlen($artical)>100)
for($i=100;$i<strlen($artical);$i+=104)
{
$artical = substr_replace($artical, $bugfix, $i, 0);
}
//newsData[newsData.length] = date ;
$line1 = "newsData[newsData.length] = \" " . ($date)."\";\n";
$line2 = "newsData[newsData.length] = \" " . ($title) . "\";\n";
$line3 = "newsData[newsData.length] = \" " . ($summary) . "\";\n";
$line4 = "newsData[newsData.length] = \" " . ($artical) . "\";\n";
$content = $line1.$line2.$line3.$line4;
if (!$handle = fopen($filename, 'a')) {
echo "Cannot open file ($filename)";
exit;
}
if (fwrite($handle, $content) === FALSE) {
echo "Cannot write to file ($filename)";
exit;
}
echo "Success, wrote:\n\n ($content) \n to file: \n ($filename)";
fclose($handle);
?>
here's the output I need:
newsData[newsData.length] = " 05/18/05";
newsData[newsData.length] = " Debut of GrahamHighlanders.com";
newsData[newsData.length] = " The newly redesigned website of the Graham Highlanders is now online.";
