please help, php issue. should be if/else statements?

hello, hope you can help me out...

i've got the following code to display a list of recent searches:

function display_table(){
	$content = file("list.txt");
	$return = '<p>';
	$lines = count($content);
	for($i=0;$i<$lines;$i++){
		
		$return .= $content[$i];
		if($i == $lines - 1){

		}else{
			$return .= "&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;";
		}
	}
	$return .= "</p>";
	return $return;
}

PHP:

but you'll see on the 4th line down where the new line starts, it indents it with 5 spaces.

how can i change the code so it does separate search terms with 5 spaces, but not include the 5 spaces in the beginning of a new line?



as always, much appreciated!

 

function display_table()
{
    $content = file("list.txt");
    $return = '<p>';
    $lines = count($content);
    $i = 0;
   while($i < $lines)
   {
   $return .= $contents[$i];
   if($i != $lines - 1)
          $return .= "&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;";
   $i++;
   }
    $return .= "</p>";
    return $return;
}

PHP:

try this mate... not so sure, just try this...

 

no that is no good at all... now nothing shows up... any more ideas? thanks btw

 

function display_table(){
    $content = file("list.txt");
    $return = '<p>';
    $lines = count($content);
    for($i=0;$i<$lines;$i++){
        $return .= '<div style="display: inline; margin-right: 10px;">';
        $return .= $content[$i];
        if($i == $lines - 1){

        }else{
            $return .= "</div>";
        }
    }
    $return .= "</p>";
    return $return;
}

Code (markup):

Something like that would probably work better. If not, let me know, I'll rewrite that function for you.

 

thanks for that! did a little tweaking myself and it works, cheers!
