Web Hosting Talk : Web Hosting Main Forums : Programming Discussion : new question about stripslashes

[Divvy]

Hello friends,

I started this week learning PHP reading some tutorials, so Im very newbie in this...
Can someone tell me how can I display full title inside the title="" ?

I tried change this:

PHP Code:

title=\"" . stripslashes( $title ) . "\" 


to this:

PHP Code:

title=\"" . $title . "\" 


but didnt work...
what I am doing wrong?

Here is the complete code:

PHP Code:

if( dle_strlen( $row['title'], $config['charset'] ) > 30 ) $title = dle_substr( $row['title'], 0, 30, $config['charset'] ) . " ...";
        else $title = $row['title'];

        $link = "<a href=\"" . $full_link . "\" title=\"" . stripslashes( $title ) . "\">" . stripslashes( $title ) . "</a>";
        $topnews .= "<li>" . $link . "</li>";
    } 


Thank you

the stripslashes function just remove the slashes added by the addslashes function... as i can see from your complete code section, i believe that you're getting that info from a database... did you change something above that section that is preventing the title variable to be populated?

thank you for your reply silasistefan.

hmmm here is the full code:

PHP Code:

<?php


if( ! defined( 'DATALIFEENGINE' ) ) {

    die( "Hacking attempt!" );

}



$topnews = dle_cache( "topnews", $config['skin'] );



if( $topnews === false ) {

    

    $this_month = date( 'Y-m-d H:i:s', $_TIME );

    

    $db->query( "SELECT id, title, date, alt_name, category, flag FROM " . PREFIX . "_post WHERE approve='1' AND date >= '$this_month' - INTERVAL 1 MONTH AND date < '$this_month' ORDER BY rating DESC, comm_num DESC, news_read DESC, date DESC LIMIT 0,10" );

    

    while ( $row = $db->get_row() ) {

        

        $row['date'] = strtotime( $row['date'] );

        $row['category'] = intval( $row['category'] );

        

        if( $config['allow_alt_url'] == "yes" ) {

            

            if( $row['flag'] and $config['seo_type'] ) {

                

                if( $row['category'] and $config['seo_type'] == 2 ) {

                    

                    $full_link = $config['http_home_url'] . get_url( $row['category'] ) . "/" . $row['id'] . "-" . $row['alt_name'] . ".html";

                

                } else {

                    

                    $full_link = $config['http_home_url'] . $row['id'] . "-" . $row['alt_name'] . ".html";

                

                }

            

            } else {

                

                $full_link = $config['http_home_url'] . date( 'Y/m/d/', $row['date'] ) . $row['alt_name'] . ".html";

            }

        

        } else {

            

            $full_link = $config['http_home_url'] . "index.php?newsid=" . $row['id'];

        

        }

        

        if( dle_strlen( $row['title'], $config['charset'] ) > 30 ) $title = dle_substr( $row['title'], 0, 30, $config['charset'] ) . " ...";

        else $title = $row['title'];

        

        $link = "<a href=\"" . $full_link . "\" title=\"" . stripslashes( $title ) . "\">" . stripslashes( $title ) . "</a>";

        

        $topnews .= "<li>" . $link . "</li>";

    }

    

    $db->free();



    create_cache( "topnews", $topnews, $config['skin'] );

}

?>

i would do the following change in order to further debug:

instead of

$db->query( "SELECT id, title, date, alt_name, category, flag FROM " . PREFIX . "_post WHERE approve='1' AND date >= '$this_month' - INTERVAL 1 MONTH AND date < '$this_month' ORDER BY rating DESC, comm_num DESC, news_read DESC, date DESC LIMIT 0,10" );

i would put this

$tmpquery = "SELECT id, title, date, alt_name, category, flag FROM " . PREFIX . "_post WHERE approve='1' AND date >= '$this_month' - INTERVAL 1 MONTH AND date < '$this_month' ORDER BY rating DESC, comm_num DESC, news_read DESC, date DESC LIMIT 0,10";
echo $tmpquery;
$db->query( $tmpquery );

in the webpage you should get the SQL query that you're executing. Copy & paste that in an MySQL console and see if you have the title in the table... if you don't, you found your issue...
