Hi,

this statement:
echo nl2br(htmlspecialchars($row['jobdescription'], ENT_QUOTES, 'UTF-8'));

works for php4.3.10 but not for php5.2.5

I am wondering if i am missing something.

Thank you

I need to find the position of the first character in the string
(searching from the end) that is not one of the characters in a set. In
this case the set is [0-9a-zA-z-_]

I guess to be even more specific, I want to split a string into to parts
the first part can contain anything and the second part must be only in
the set described above.

What is the easiest way to do this?

    To find the position of a specific character, RTFM on strpos().
For those not existing in your condition, I'd recommend
everythingbut(), but it's yet to be included in the core. ;-P

    You can split a string by doing something as simple as this:

<?php
$str = "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz";
$d = $str[5]; // $d == position - 1, because count always begins with 0
?>

    So to walk backward through the string, while it's not very clean,
you could do:

<?php
$str = "ABCDEF01234567789";

for($i=strlen($str);$i>0;$i--) {
    if(preg_match('/[g-z]/i',$str[$i])) {
        // Handle your "this is a bad character" condition(s).
        // break; /* Or, optionally, continue. */
    }
}
?>

    Not pretty, but if my mind is still working at 2:30a (EDT), it
should help you out.

There's something here, imaginatively called blah(), which does what you
require:

"PHP" and "threads" in the same sentence make me shudder too. There are
just some things you shouldn't do with an interpreted language IMHO.

hi!

Does anyone know how to convert euro ?

For example;

French to German, Italy to French currency
so on.

I must be missing something, but the French Euro is the exact same
currency as the German Euro, as is the Italian euro. There is nothing to
convert; 1 euro = 1 euro, regardless of which country (that has the
euro) you look at.
