Stripping new lines?

[Anon]

Ok, this is a total newbie question I know, so be kind? cringes

I'm starting to play with opening files and writing to them. I got further than I thought I would, to be honest. I created the following...

I have a file that contains, ona single line

blah blah blah

I wrote the following script

<?
$myfile= fopen("file", "r");
$myline= fgets($myfile, 255);
echo $myline;
fclose($myfile);

$myline2 = "$myline blah";

$fp = fopen("file","w");
fwrite($fp, $myline2);
fclose($fp);

?>

to add a blah at the end of the line each time it's run. However, it's writing out the line as

blah blah blah
blah

Which tells me there is probably a newline character in there somewhere that I need to strip out of $myline before I write $myline2, but I'm having trouble locating the function to do it. Can someone advise please?

<?PHP

$no_breaks = str_replace( "\n", "", $old_string );

echo "<pre>{$old_string}</pre>";
echo "<pre>{$no_breaks}</pre>";

?>

Should do what you would like to do.

Also take a look at the "file" command at http://www.php.net/manual/

HTH!
