remove line breaks?

Anon

I have a text field in a database where the text includes line breaks. I need to remove the line breaks so that it prints in a textarea as all one line.

I have tried:

$Sequence = ereg_replace("\n", "", $tbSequence->Sequence);

$Sequence = preg_replace("/\n/", "", $tbSequence->Sequence);

$Sequence = str_replace("\n", "", $tbSequence->Sequence);

None of these worked for me. It still prints with all of the line breaks. Is there no other way to strip the line breaks?

Here is what worked...

$Sequence = stripslashes($tbSequence->Sequence);
$Sequence = ereg_replace(10, "", $Sequence);
$Sequence = ereg_replace(13, "", $Sequence);
$Sequence = ereg_replace(" ", "", $Sequence);

Can someone explain to me why I had to go to so much trouble? Why didn't ereg_replace("/n", "", $Sequence) work???

Thanks!

I had a similar problem...it turned out "\r\n" was b/w each line instead of just "\n". See if that works.

In windows, a line break is \r\n (carriage return + line break), in unix it's \n

10 is ascii for \n
13 is ascii for \r
(or vice versa, can't remember exactly)

i have the same problem, but why this :

$Sequence = stripslashes($tbSequence->Sequence);
$Sequence = ereg_replace(10, "", $Sequence);
$Sequence = ereg_replace(13, "", $Sequence);
$Sequence = ereg_replace(" ", "", $Sequence);

doesn't work for me?
do i miss something here?
