Passing a string parameter to a function
I need to pass a parameter to a function in a script. My parameter is a string. When I display the parameter within my function, I only get the first word from string I pass in.
How can I make the function receive the whole string (and not terminate at the first space it encounters)?.
part of the script I am executing
$strExtractQuery="select * from TRAN with UR"
echo "SQL to be validated: " ${strExtractQuery}
sql_validate ${strExtractQuery}
function sql_validate # Accepts 1 parameter
{
Sqltext=$1
echo "In sql validate " : ${Sqltext}
}
Output
SQL to be validated: select TRAN_I from TRAN with UR
In sql validate 1 : select
Any help?
Thanks

xml_set_notation_decl_handler
XML_SET_NOTATION_DECL_HANDLER(3) 1 XML_SET_NOTATION_DECL_HANDLER(3)
xml_set_notation_decl_handler - Set up notation declaration handler
SYNOPSIS
bool xml_set_notation_decl_handler (resource $parser, callable $handler)
DESCRIPTION
Sets the notation declaration handler function for the XML parser $parser.
A notation declaration is part of the document's DTD and has the following format:
<!NOTATION <parameter>name</parameter>
{ <parameter>systemId</parameter> | <parameter>publicId</parameter>?>
PARAMETERS
o $parser
- A reference to the XML parser to set up notation declaration handler function.
o $handler
-$handler is a string containing the name of a function that must exist when xml_parse(3) is called for $parser. The function
named by $handler must accept five parameters:
handler (resource $parser, string $notation_name, string $base, string $system_id, string $public_id)
o $parser
- The first parameter, parser, is a reference to the XML parser calling the handler.
o $notation_name
- This is the notation's $name, as per the notation format described above.
o $base
- This is the base for resolving the system identifier ($system_id) of the notation declaration. Currently this parameter
will always be set to an empty string.
o $system_id
- System identifier of the external notation declaration.
o $public_id
- Public identifier of the external notation declaration.
If a handler function is set to an empty string, or FALSE, the handler in question is disabled.
Note
Instead of a function name, an array containing an object reference and a method name can also be supplied.
RETURN VALUES
Returns TRUE on success or FALSE on failure.
