trying to add a new line in php - please help

[marcus76]

Hi ,

I have the following line of code:

$cart_contents_string .= $products[$i]['quantity'] . '&nbsp;x&nbsp; </span></td><td valign="top" class="ShoppingCartBoxContents"><a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_PRODUCT_INFO, 'products_id=' . $products[$i]['id']) . '"> ' ;

i'd like to add this to it:

tep_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . $products[$i]['image'], SMALL_IMAGE_WIDTH, SMALL_IMAGE_HEIGHT)

The output displays the image, then to the right (next column) the product name, and at the bottom of the image to the right , the quantity.

I'd like to display:

Product name
Product quantity
Product image

all in a single column, one after each other.

Any ideas where i need to place the 2nd line of code? i think i need a new line before i display the image -but how?

Many thanks

Marc

newlines only work when you echo a newline within preformatted html elements, something like this:

<?php 
print "<pre>Line 1\nLine 2\nLine 3\n</pre>"; 
?>

The other way to get line breaks is to use the proper HTML such as <p> elements or <br /> elements in between each.

thanks coopster, i cannot add any of those to my line of code though right?

Not sure what you are asking. If it is within the table cell you should just be able to use a <br> element.

or let php do the <br>ing work for you: nl2br() [php.net] converts each linebreak into the according html tag so you do not need to care about any longer. it even matches up with xhtml in case you need.

ok, so how does this look?

$cart_contents_string .= tep_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . nl2br() . $products[$i]['image'], SMALL_IMAGE_WIDTH, SMALL_IMAGE_HEIGHT) . $products[$i]['quantity'] . '&nbsp;x&nbsp; </span></td><td valign="top" class="ShoppingCartBoxContents"><a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_PRODUCT_INFO, 'products_id=' . $products[$i]['id']) . '"> ' ;

I can't try it until this evening, but i'm hoping for the following display in 1 column.

IMAGE <br>
Quantity , Product id

Cheers
