Question

I am trying to get issue details from JIRA 3.13 using PHP SOAP. I was able to login and get the issues; however, on one of my field, I could not get the new line formatting. So, all I got is the text for that particular field without new line character (everything just append into a single line of text). As of now, I am guessing php also did some re-formatting of the string from SOAP. The reason I am saying this is because I did some testing with SOAP UI and was able to get the text out with the formatting. Can anyone help me out with a way to displaying the text with the formatting? Thanks in advance.

This is my php code:

try {
    $soap   = new SoapClient("<<JIRA URL>>");
    $auth   = $soap->login($formUsername, $formPassword);

    if ($auth)
    {

        $result0 = $soap->getIssue($auth,'<<JIRA ISSUE ID>>');

        $result = (array) $result0;

        foreach ($result as $key => $a)
        {
            $z = $z . '<br/>' . $key . ' = ' . $a;
        }

        echo $z;
    }
}
catch(Exception $e){
    $string = urlencode($e->getMessage());
    header("Location: login.php?message=".$string);
    die();
}

I just realize that I do not need to convert it into array.
Simply do the following:

    foreach ($result0 as $key => $a)
    {
        $z = $z . '<br/>' . $key . ' = ' . $a;
    }

This, however, still does not solve my problem with the new line.

Isn’t it just because you don’t change the linefeeds into <br/> before outputting it?

Should be easy to find out if that’s the case just by looking at the source in the browser.
