Like so many of the other powerful components made available through the Zend Framework, the Zend_File_Transfer component is intended to make your life much easier when it comes to the task of uploading files from a user’s computer to a Web server. In actuality, this component is much more flexible than merely handling uploads; it can also be used to transfer files using protocols such as FTP and WebDAV, however for the purposes of this tutorial we’ll stick to its initially stated purpose. Let’s begin by creating the simplest process possible in the upload action which is nonetheless capable of accepting and processing an uploaded file

I am basically trying to display a newline character inside a textbox.

<?php
$var = "This is the first line. \n This is the second line.";
?>
 
<textarea id="mytext"></textarea>
 
<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">
    $(document).ready( function () {
        $('#mytime').val('<?=$var?>')
    });
</script>

The error I get above is:

unterminated string literal

When I view the source code, I have this:

$('#mytime').val('This is the first line.
This is the second line.');

Using str_replace() to remove the “\n”
Apparently, this does not work.

$temp = str_replace("\n","",$var); //does not work

Has anyone experienced this issue?

Thanks,
Wenbert

UPDATE:
I found this in Stackoverflow.

The solution, use json_encode().

<?php
$var = "This is the first line. \n This is the second line.";
?>
 
<textarea id="mytext"></textarea>
 
<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">
    $(document).ready( function () {
        $('#mytime').val('<?=json_encode($var)?>')
    });
</script>

There. Who would have thought of that?

1. Load the framework from Google Code
2. Use data method and avoid storing data inside the DOM. Some developers have a habit of storing data in the HTML attributes
3. Use Cheat Sheets
4. Compress Javascript files
5. Use Firebug
6. Use ID as Selector whenever possible
7. Use Tags Before Classes
8. Cache jQuery Objects
9. Bind certain jQuery functions to $(window).load event
10. Use Chaining to limit selectors, make the code more simple and elegant

You can download Vim here: http://www.vim.org/. After that download these plugins:

• Minibufexplorer: http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=159
• Close a buffer without closing the window: http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/VimTip622
• NERDTree Plugin: http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=1658

I am using Ubuntu, so I created a .vim folder inside my home directory. The directory structure is something like this:

/home/wenbert/.vim
/home/wenbert/.vim/plugin
/home/wenbert/.vim/doc

Follow the installation instructions for the plugins after you download and extract them.

Here my .vimrc file can be found here.

How I use my vim

1. I open Vim
2. I issue this command “:NERDTree bookmark_name” (note: you must have an existing NERDTree Bookmark — see NERDTree docs on how to do this)
3. I use NERDTree to browse and open the files.
4. To close a buffer, I just use CTRL+W. The CTRL+W is mapped to :Bclose which closes the buffer without closing the window.
5. I use CTRL+Arrowkeys to switch between the Bufexplorer, NERDTree and the current file I am editting.

Handling radio buttons or checkboxes

<input type="radio" name="print_memo" value="Yes"/> Yes 
<input type="radio" name="print_memo" value="No" /> No
<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">
$(document).ready( function () {
    $('INPUT[name=print_memo][value="<?=$this->request->print_memo?>"]').attr('checked', true)
    /**
    * $this->request->print_memo will output either 'Yes' or 'No'
    * Here, we used INPUT[name=XXX] to select the form element
    */
});

For select boxes

<select id="country_id" name="country">
    <option value="1">Philippines</option>
    <option value="2">Singapore</option>
    <option value="3">Norway</option>
</select>
$(document).ready( function () {
    $('#country_id option[value="<?=$this->request->country_id?>"]').attr('selected', 'selected');
    /**
    * $this->request->country_id will output 1,2 or 3
    * Here, we used #country_id to select the form element
    */
});
