note 51419 added to function.nl2br

A handy function to convert new line \n seprated text into ordered or unordered list. I am calling it nl2li, suggestions welcome. Second optional parameter sets the list as ordered (1) or unordered (0 = default). Third parameter can be used to specify type of ordered list, valid inputs are "1" = default ,"a","A","i","I". function nl2li($str,$ordered = 0, $type = "1") { //check if its ordered or unordered list, set tag accordingly if ($ordered) { $tag="ol"; //specify the type $tag_type="type=$type"; } else { $tag="ul"; //set $type as NULL $tag_type=NULL; } // add ul / ol tag // add tag type // add first list item starting tag // add last list item ending tag $str = "<$tag $tag_type><li>" . $str ."</li></$tag>"; //replace /n with adding two tags // add previous list item ending tag // add next list item starting tag $str = str_replace("\n","</li><br />\n<li>",$str); //spit back the modified string return $str; } ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.nl2br.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+51419 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+51419&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+51419&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+51419&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+51419&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+51419&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+51419&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
