Spliting Results of PHP Query into Columns
I have the following line of code that pulls the description from the database,
What I am trying to do is add <br/>
to the description so that it is not shown as one long string of data.
mb_substr(strip_tags(html_entity_decode($result['description'], ENT_QUOTES, 'UTF-8')), 0, 100) . '..'
Current:
Data Data Data Data Data Data.Data Data.Data Data.Data Data
Required:
Data Data
Data Data
Data Data
Full Code:
$this->data['products'][] = array(
'product_id' => $result['product_id'],
'thumb' => $image,
'name' => $result['name'],
'description' => mb_substr(strip_tags(html_entity_decode($result['description'], ENT_QUOTES, 'UTF-8')), 0, 100) . '..',
'price' => $price,
'special' => $special,
'tax' => $tax,
'rating' => $result['rating'],
'reviews' => sprintf($this->language->get('text_reviews'), (int)$result['reviews']),
'href' => $this->url->link('product/product', 'path=' . $this->request->get['path'] . '&product_id=' . $result['product_id'])
);
I have resolved this issue by doing the following:
Editing -> catelog/view/theme/default/template/product/product.tpl
In the above .tpl document I have adjusted line 196 within the array:
From:
'description' => mb_substr(strip_tags(html_entity_decode($result['description'], ENT_QUOTES, 'UTF-8')), 0, 100) . '..'
To:
'description' => strip_tags(html_entity_decode($result['description'], ENT_QUOTES, 'UTF-8'),'<p>'),
<?php
$text = 'Data Data Data Data Data';
$data = explode(' ', $text);
foreach($data as $key => $value) {
if ($key % 2 == 0) {
echo '<br />';
}
echo $value . ' ';
}
It would probably be more appropriate to use wordwrap()
e.g.
$text = 'Data Data Data Data Data';
echo wordwrap($text, 10, '<br />', true);
Result:
Data Data
Data Data
Data Data
