what do you need to build PHP SMS script??

xxxice · 08-21-2006, 10:46 PM

can php make it so the text that is printed on a page can all be a certain length: like 20 characters or something? what is the code?

sevent · 08-21-2006, 10:55 PM

Sure.

To find out the length of a string use the strlen() function.

To pad on extra characters or remove some use substr

Info about each of these at php.net. You can also treat a string like an array of characters using []. ie. $string[23] = "d";

Ruby on rails is the programming language Ruby plus the framework "rails". Ruby is one of the more recent programming languages of the moment with no where near the support or base of available scripts as PHP.

That was just an example. It shows how you *could* put the character "d" at the 24th place in a string*. If you wanted to pad a sting with extra characters you could do a loop which inserted a certain character at each place up to whatever.

* Remember arrays start with zero

         $string .= '..';



    }



return $string;



}

Looks good to me. I like seeing other people's code.

date('r');
but that doesn't always work properly (especialy when using feed validator)... so if it doesn't work use the long way : date('D, d M Y H:i:s T');
