Detecting New Lines

I have a text file that looks like this:

It
is like
this
and this
and like this lalala
text

Well I am using file_get_contents(); and then displaying it as HTML. I want to use str_replace() to replace the new lines. What would I replace. I tried /n but it didn't work. What should I try replacing?

 

Don't you mean \n?

Use this:

<?php

$content = <<<CONTENT
It
is like
this
and this
and like this lalala
text
CONTENT;

$content = str_replace("\n","", $content);

highlight_string($content);
?>

PHP:

 

That is what I meant. I used that before and it doesn't work.

 

$content = preg_replace('%[\r\n]+%', '', $content);

PHP:

 

Thanks! Works.

 

No problem

 

It detects n's and r's as new lines though haha. Have a fix for that?

 

It doesn't. Can you show your code?

$content = "Hello 
This is a test to 
see if n and r get removed 
from a file using regex";

$result = preg_replace('%[\r\n]+%', '', $content);
echo $result;

PHP:

That code shows perfectly

 

Hmm, so did mine -> http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showpost.php?p=13351017&postcount=2

I tested, so would help if op displayed his code.

 

@$note_contents = preg_replace('%[\r\n]+%', '<br />', $note_contents);

echo '<div align="center"><b>' . $note_title . '</b><br />By: ' . $note_author . '</div><br /><br />';
echo $note_contents;

Code (markup):

It replaces it with a new line new lines but also n's and r's

 

If you just want to replace new lines with br why not just use

$note_contents = nl2br($notecontents);

PHP:
