another str_replace prob with line breaks

my fields have line breaks but when i use

$xmlStr=str_replace("\n",'',$xmlStr);

sod all happens - i know the replace works as i tested it with

$xmlStr=str_replace("\n",'a',$xmlStr);

i get

a some text
a more text
a even more

is there a function to "remove" a line break/character etc rather than "replace"

 

so.. why exactly don't you replace with an empty string?

 

thats what i thought but nothing happens....

 

dontcha just love google - i had forgotten about carriage returns

$xmlStr=str_replace("\n",'',$xmlStr);
$xmlStr=str_replace("\r",'',$xmlStr);

 

why not just rtrim() it ?

 

rtrim() only removes line breaks at the end of the string. He clearly has to remove line breaks within the string content.

 

i read the post wrong .. i assumed he was working with a single line.

thanks for the heads up

 

Oh well of course, the dreaded Windows line break

$text = preg_replace("/(r|n)/", "", $text);

PHP:

Easiest way to get rid of them all I can think of.
