PHP:

 

do you mean this?

<?
$word = "digitalpoint";
for ($i = strlen($word); $i >= 0; $i--) echo $word[$i];
?>

PHP:

 

@insert

He wants to flip the actual text not reverse, furthermore theirs already a function for what you posted -> strrev().

 

hey yeh, thanks for that.

i've actually just started a thread about a strrev question: http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=1711246

any ideas?

 

thanks for information, didn't know about strrev()...

 

Just convert this JavaScript code to PHP and you should be good to go.

 

sorry for being such a newbie, but how would i do this please?

 

Here's the same thing in php:

function upsideDown($var){
$reverse=strtolower($var);
$array=array("a" => "ɐ", "b" => "ʠ", "c" => "ɔ", "d" => "p", "e" => "ǝ", "f" => "ɟ", "g" => "ƃ", "h" => "ɥ", "i" => "ı", "j" => "ɾ", "k" => "ʞ", "m" => "ɯ", "n" => "u", "p" => "d", "q" => "b", "r" => "ɹ", "t" => "ʇ", "u" => "n", "v" => "ʌ", "w" => "ʍ", "y" => "ʎ", "\n" => "\r", "." => "˙", "?" => "¿", "!" => "¡", "_" => "‾", "," => "`", "'" => "̗");
foreach($array as $key => $value){
$var=str_replace("$key","$value",$var);
}//end foreach
return $var;
}//end function

PHP:

 

thanks for that, but when i try to use the inverted text, i get question marks (in notepad++).

this is what i'm seeing:

i've also tried "\u0250" for "a" but then that just replaces it with "\u0250" and not the upside down character.

any ideas? cheers

 

oh I just realized when I pasted it, the forum converted the ascii codes

I uploaded it to google docs
http://docs.google.com/leaf?id=0B-gd83O3SRnVYzc3MGIxN2EtNjM1Ny00Mzk2LWJmNDEtNmQ5YzAzNTAwODQ5&hl=en

 

that's great thanks, where did you get the ascii codes from as there are a few i wish to change. cheers again!

 

I googled them but most of them were on this site http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/a.htm

 

just hit a little snag, because in the array, "d" is converted to "p" and "p" gets transformed into "d" that means all "d"s always remain as "d"s.

is there a way to fix this. cheers once again, you have been really awesome!

 

anyone able to help please?

 

You can also do this with plain CSS: friendlybit.com/css/reverse-text-with-css-32-very-special-hex-digits/
