How To Insert Linebreaks In Generated Html Code

Post a Comment
I am using codeigniter to generate an html table for insertion into a template view. Unfortunately this is coming out as a very long string on 1 line like: ; foreach ($arrayas$key => $value) { $string = $string."<tr>\n\t<td>$key</td>\n"; $element = '\t<td><a href="#" id="'.$key.'" data-type="text" data-pk="' .$rowID.'" data-url="/post" data-title="'.$key.'">'.$value.'</a>' .'</td>\n</tr>'."<br>"; $string = $string.$element; } $string=$string.'\n\t</tbody>\n</table>';

Solution 2:

You could use the \n and \t characters in your loop.

For example:

$string=$string."<tr>\n\t<td>$key</td>\n"; 
$element='\t<td><a href="#" id="'.$key.'" data-type="text" data-pk="'.$rowID.'" data-url="/post" data-title="'.$key.'">'.$value.'</a>'.'</td>\n</tr>'."<br>";

Also, you shouldn't have a line break after the </tr>.

Solution 3:

You have to add the line breaks with \n and \t for tabs

$string='<table id="myDataTable" class="table table-bordered table-striped" style="clear: both">\n\t<tbody>\n';

        foreach ($arrayas$key => $value) {

        $string=$string."\t\t<tr><td>$key</td>\n";  
        $element='\t\t<td><a href="#" id="'.$key.'" data-type="text" data-pk="'.$rowID.'" data-url="/post" data-title="'.$key.'">'.$value.'</a>'.'</td></tr>\n';
        $string=$string.$element;
        }


          $string=$string.'\t</tbody>\n</table>';

Also br tag is not allowed directly inside table, so I removed it. It doesn't serve any purpose anyways since rows automatically appear on new lines

Solution 4:

You could add the line breaks with \n and \t to your $string variable:

$string='<table id="myDataTable" class="table table-bordered table-striped" style="clear: both">\n\t<tbody>\n';

        foreach ($arrayas$key => $value) {

        $string=$string."\t\t<tr><td>$key</td>\n";  
        $element='\t\t<td><a href="#" id="'.$key.'" data-type="text" data-pk="'.$rowID.'" data-url="/post" data-title="'.$key.'">'.$value.'</a>'.'</td></tr>\n'."<br>";
        $string=$string.$element;
        }

Solution 5:

I suggest experimenting with \n and spaces in the echoes, for example: 

$string=$string."<tr>\n    <td>$key</td>";

I believe the result will be:

<tr>
    <td>field1</td>

Edit: Michael's response using \t and \n is way better.
