appending characters to a list

i have a long list of numbers like this

36346346
436346
444444
44
666666666666865
4564
.
.
.

and at the beginning and end of each entry i want to append some characters . how do to this with php? thanks

 

Is your list in an array? If so, you can use a foreach statement to do this. E.g.

$array = array(1234,12345,123456,1234567);
foreach($array as $value) {
$string .= $value . "SOMECHARACTERS";
}

echo $string;

PHP:

 

lol if I had the time to add a comma at the end of each entry why would I need this code in the first place?

anyone else got ideas?

 

You can remove <br /> its just to show how it would look

<?php

$str = "
36346346
436346
444444
44
666666666666865
4564";
$text = str_replace("\n", "<br />\n^^^^^", $str); // ^^^^^ = your characters or are they different on each line ?

echo $text;
?>

PHP:

Example out put:

^^^^^36346346
^^^^^436346
^^^^^444444
^^^^^44
^^^^^666666666666865
^^^^^4564

Code (markup):

 

So what is your list then? A text file of numbers one after the other with a linebreak separating them?

$filename = "c:\\folder\\number.txt";

$file = fopen($filename, "w+"); 

if(!$file) return false;

$data = file_get_contents($filename);
fclose($file);

$data = explode("\n", $data);

foreach($data as $value) {
    $string .= $value . "SOMECHARACTERS";
}

echo $string;

PHP:

You may have to try other characters for the explode function depending on the newline value. <br />, \nr, \r or w/e else represents a newline.

 

that looks good. problem solved
