I'm working on some PHP code that will be running on a web page. To make the coding/testing process faster I'm running the code locally through the terminal. For some reason the same code provides different results when running on my web server than when running on my G5. The code is this:

Code:
$text = "category\r\n\r\nheading\r\n\r\nbodytext\r\nhttp://www.foo.com";

  $text = split("\n", $text);

  $heads = 0;
  $isfirst = 1;
  $issecond = 0;
  $sub = "";
  for ($i = 0; $i < count($text); $i++) {
    if ($isfirst) {
      $sub .= "<p>";
      print $sub . "\n";
      $isfirst = 0;
      if ($text[$i+1] == "\r") {
        $sub .= "<strong>";
        print $sub . "\n";
        $issecond = 1;
        $heads++;
      }
    }

    if (substr($text[$i], 0, 4) == "http") {
      $link = "<br /><a href=\"" . $text[$i] . "\">$text[$i]</a>";
      $text[$i] = $link;
      $heads--;
    }

    $sub .= $text[$i];
    print $sub . "\n";

    if ($issecond) {
      $sub .= "</strong>";
      print $sub . "\n";
      $issecond = 0;
    }

    if ($text[$i] == "\r") {
      $sub .= "</p>";
      print $sub . "\n";
      $isfirst = 1;
    }
  }

//print $sub;
print "\n";

On the webserver it returns the following output (with the mid-function prints gone and only the last commented-out print working):

Code:
<p><strong>category</strong></p><p><strong>heading</strong></p><p>bodytext<a href="http://www.foo.com">http://www.foo.com</a></p>

But when I run it through the terminal on my G5 it gives this output (under the same print conditions):

Code:
<br /><a href="http://www.lewispr.com">http://www.foo.com</a>

Running the code exactly as it's displayed above gives this output:

Code:
<p>
<p><strong>
<p><strong>category
</strong>g>category
</strong>g>category
</p>rong>g>category
</p><p>g>g>category
</p><p><strong>gory
</p><p><strong>heading
</strong>trong>heading
</strong>trong>heading
</p>rong>trong>heading
</p><p>g>trong>heading
</p><p>bodytextheading
<br /><a href="http://www.foo.com">http://www.foo.com</a>

I can't for the life of me figure out why it's doing this. It looks like some sort of memory address error, but I don't see how my code could possibly be responsible for that.

Any ideas?

make sure its within

<?php ?>

make sure you add <?php in case your server does not understand short tags.


try echo instead of print.

make sure the code is in a page that ends with .php

???

It works fine on the server, it's when I'm running it locally in the terminal with the command php *filename* that it doesn't work properly.

I have no clue, but if you put a little time into it you could isolate the problem further.
Anyway (what I really wanted to say), try http://www.phpmac.com. It's a site dedicated to php development on Macintosh - that's where I'd look IF your problem is specific to Mac.
