note 61486 added to language.functions

This is a way of formatting different strings with different mandatory functions and is especially useful when processing form data or outputting database fields using structured configuration files: <? function format_string($string,$functions) { $funcs = explode(",",$functions); foreach ($funcs as $func) { if (function_exists($func)) $string = $func($string); } return $string; } echo format_string(" <b> this is a test </b>","strip_tags,strtoupper,trim"); // outputs "THIS IS A TEST" ?> ---- Server IP: 203.202.10.60 Probable Submitter: 59.167.19.163 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.functions.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+61486 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+61486&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+61486&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+61486&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+61486&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: non-english -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+61486&report=yes&reason=non-english Delete: already in docs -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+61486&report=yes&reason=already+in+docs Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+61486&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+61486&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
