Question

I am pulling values submitted from a form and displaying them in a couple different formats. Sometimes I need the values to be echo-ed in lowercase and sometimes I need any capitalization preserved, depending on the section of the page. However, I need all values to have the slashes stripped out.

I am using the following format to echo the lowercase values

<?php echo strtolower ( $keyword ); ?>

This is working fine. Though, adding ‘stripslashes’ to that is throwing an error. I’m sure I’m not formatting it correctly.

How do I accomplish both of these items?

Update

I was simply asking a question related to PHP formatting and syntax but, in order to appease Oli Charlesworth . . .

<?php echo stripslashes strtolower ( $keyword ); ?>

This is the code I had tried. And this is the error it was throwing …

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting ‘,’ or ‘;’ in /home/content/u/s/e/username/html/folder/code.php on line 63

Answer 1

echo strtolower(stripslashes($keyword));

Should do it.

Also note, you could do…

<span style="text-transform: lowercase"><?php echo stripslashes($keyword); ?></span>

Update

Your code…

<?php echo stripslashes strtolower ( $keyword ); ?>

…is not correct code, because each function needs to take its arguments within parenthesis. You need to wrap them in their respective parenthesis – so the return value from the inner becomes the argument for the outer.
