Simple preg_replace

I've got a preg_replace that tosses <li></li>'s around every new line. I know it works on windows machines, but I know the code doesn't account for any other systems.

$body = preg_replace("/\n/","</li><li>",$body);

What should I change here?

Thanks!

 

Try:

$body = preg_replace("/\\r\\n|\\n|\\r/","</li><li>", $body);

PHP:

 

Unless you need variable embedding you should always use single quotes for strings, it saves on parsing time and you dont have to use complicated escape sequences like \\r\\n.

 

I think this is what he wants:

$body = preg_replace("/^(.*)\\n/","</li>$1<li>",$body);

PHP:

Peace,

 

That definitely won't do what you're hoping... The <li> tags are backwards. In any case, the original code was replacing every newline with a closing tag and then an opening tag, I'm assuming <ul><li> is output before the regex and </li></ul> after it.
