String Replace function

Anon

How do you make the string replace function change an [enter] into a ? I think there's some sord of enter code, like the code for a tab:   but I don't know what it is. Thanks for your help all.

The fastest way to replace newlines with -tags is to use the nl2br() function:

Yes, I supposes that would work, but I have an older version of php3, and that won't work on it. Is there another way besides installing the new version?

Then your PHP version is extremely old. I recommend that you upgrade to a modern version; otherwise, there will be a lot of issues like this.

You could try with str_replace():
$new_string=str_replace(
"\n",
' ',
$string_containing_carriage_return
);

Or you could use ereg_replace() (see the manual).

$string = ereg_replace("\n", " ", $string);

Should the trick

str_replace() is faster than ereg_replace(). So str_replace() should be tried before ereg_replace().

Try using nl2br(new line 2 ):
nl2br($string_to_be_converted);
