I'm using the CMS to populate a line of javascript that would work fine except the code is presenting like this:
<script type="text/javascript">new ToolTip('tooltip-10', 'Learn more about:<br/>
- Expanding businesses into Australia<br/>
- Import and Export<br/>
- International Franchising<br/>
- Migration Law<br/>
- Law Firm Network', { mode: 'cursor', display: 'inline', width: 240, style: 'default', sticky: 0 });</script>
When it needs to present on one line, like this:
<script type="text/javascript">new ToolTip('tooltip-10', 'Learn more about:<br/>- Expanding businesses into Australia<br/>- Import and Export<br/>- International Franchising<br/>- Migration Law<br/>- Law Firm Network', { mode: 'cursor', display: 'inline', width: 240, style: 'default', sticky: 0 });</script>
Can you please let me know how to strip the spaces out so it all appears on one line? This is the code I have currently:
<?php foreach ($servicesRecords as $record): ?>
<div id="tooltip-<?php echo $record['num'] ?>" class="sidenav_heading"><a href="<?php echo $record['_link'] ?>"><?php echo $record['title'] ?></a></div>
<p>
<script type="text/javascript">new ToolTip('tooltip-<?php echo $record['num'] ?>', '<?php echo $record['navigation_bubble'] ?>', { mode: 'cursor', display: 'inline', width: 240, style: 'default', sticky: 0 });</script>
</p>
<?php endforeach; ?>
Thanks.

Try adding this line:
<?php foreach ($servicesRecords as $record): ?>
<?php $record['navigation_bubble'] = strtr($record['navigation_bubble'], "\n", ""); ?>
...Let me know if that works for you.

Alas, no good. Still does the exact same thing.

<?php foreach ($servicesRecords as $record): ?>
<?php $record['navigation_bubble'] = preg_replace("/\s+/", " ", $record['navigation_bubble']); ?>
...If that doesn't work feel free to email me CMS and FTP login details to dave@interactivetools.com and I can take a look for you. (Email, don't post login details to the forum).
Hope that helps!

I'm wondering if this is the same type of code that I'd use to strip those characters from a text field entry that are not acceptable in a PayPal buy link (like quotation Marks, Asterisks, Question Marks, etc.)?
And if that's so, could you give me an example of the correct syntax to use with those 3 and I'll be able to expand it from there.
Thanks,

You can "url encode" value with urlencode() such as:
<?php echo urlencode($record['title']); ?> and that will replace ? with %3F etc. See http://ca.php.net/urlencode
You can replace characters with str_replace or preg_replace. See http://ca.php.net/str_replace and http://ca.php.net/preg_replace
Here's some examples:
$str = 'Hello " There * How ? Are You';
$str = preg_replace('/[\"\*\?]/', '', $str);
print $str;$str = 'Hello " There * How ? Are You';
$replace = array('"','*','?');
$str = str_replace($replace, '', $str);
print $str;Hope that helps!

I'm sure it will.
