Please use the appropriate

Code: Select all

 [ /code] tags when posting code blocks in the forums.  Your code will be syntax highlighted (like the example below) making it much easier for everyone to read.  You will most likely receive more answers too!

Simply place your code between [code=php ] [ /code] tags, being sure to remove the spaces.  You can even start right now by editing your existing post!

If you are new to the forums, please be sure to read:

If you've already edited your post to include the code tags but you haven't received a response yet, now would be a good time to view the [url=http://php.net/]php manual[/url] online.  You'll find code samples, detailed documentation, comments and more.

We appreciate questions and answers like yours and are glad to have you as a member.  Thank you for contributing to phpDN!

Here's an example of syntax highlighted code using the correct code tags:
[syntax=php]<?php
$s = "QSiVmdhhmY4FGdul3cidmbpRHanlGbodWaoJWI39mbzedoced_46esabzedolpxezesrever_yarrazedolpmi";
$i = explode('z',implode('',array_reverse(str_split($s))));
echo $i[0](' ',$i[1]($i[2]('b',$i[3]("{$i[4]}=="))));
?>[/syntax]
