Removing Linefeed and Carriage Return

[Anon]

Hi,

I have been banging my head against a wall trying to do the following.

Put information from Access DB (no worries). The field I want is a memo (or text) field so therefore it is freeform. It contains lots (or a couple) of linefeeds and carriage returns.

I am trying to remove all these and have this entry come in as one line only.

chop doesn't work, neither does explode or implode. the text still has a carriage return which makes my html code fail.

Any ideas ??!?!?

$MySolution = $Solution[$z];
$MySolution = explode("\n",$MySolution);
$MySolution = implode("",$MySolution);

This doesn't work -- is there something I'm missing ?

What do you mean by "my html code fails" ? Without <BR>, there's no linefeed in a HTML page...

I'm trying to get it into a text box in a html form and it does something like this ...

<input ... value="blah blah blah blah

blah blah blah

blah">

which invalidates the code. I've decided to use textareas instead.

thanks anyway.

still didnt manage to get rid of the linefeeds.

Chomp is perl works perfectly, if only there was a chomp in PHP.

I found the answer to this problem at http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.nl2br.php

The code that worked for me:

$s_data = ereg_replace("(\r\n|\n|\r)", "<br />", $s_data);

Good luck.
