I have the following code:
echo "Hi " . $firstName . ", <br /><br /> text <br /> <br />";
$i = 0;
foreach ($urls as $key) {
print_r ('<a href="' . ($key) . '">');
print_r($names[$i] . "</a>");
echo "<br /> <br />";
$i++;
}
echo "text, <br /><br /> text";
This prints out a message with a list of links generated by the foreach loop. I'd like to store the result in a variable (which I use as the body of an email).
You can do as
$body = '';
foreach ($urls as $key) {
$body .= '<a href="' . ($key) . '">';
$body .= $names[$i] . "</a>";
$body .= "<br /> <br />";
$i++;
}
Here initializing a var $body and inside the loop concatenating the result into body so that you can use it later.
Try this, Here added $data variable and $data .= concatenated the results in variable.
$data = "Hi " . $firstName . ", <br /><br /> text <br /> <br />";
$i = 0;
foreach ($urls as $key) {
$data .='<a href="' . ($key) . '">'.$names[$i] . "</a><br /> <br />";
$i++;
}
$data .="text, <br /><br /> text";
echo $data;
Just concat the new strings with a summation of the previous strings.
$output = "Hi $firstName,<br/><br/>text<br/><br/>";
$i = 0;
foreach ($urls as $key) {
$output .= '<a href="' . $key . '">' . $names[$i] . "</a><br/><br/>";
$i++;
}
$output .= "text,<br/><br/>text";
echo $output;
I would use the ob_* functions. Specifically ob_start, ob_get_contents, and ob_end_clean
In your case, it would be:
ob_start();
echo "Hi " . $firstName . ", <br /><br /> text <br /> <br />";
$i = 0;
foreach ($urls as $key) {
print_r ('<a href="' . ($key) . '">');
print_r($names[$i] . "</a>");
echo "<br /> <br />";
$i++;
}
echo "text, <br /><br /> text";
$body = ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();
