removing all line breaks from a string

[Anon]

Is there a method to remove all the line breaks from a string? Previous posts suggest that I use:

str_replace("\r","",$text) as well as str_replace("\n","",$text)

-- with the assumption that the \r would further condense the string. Calling str_replace on the \r doesn't seem to effect the string.

Here's what I would like to do:

"this is a <br><br> test"

Instead of

"this is a
<br>
<br>
test"

Thanks. Your suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

don't use \r, use \n or in some cases \r\n

Finally figured it out...\n must come first before \r. This works:

str_replace("\n","",$text)
str_replace("\r","",$text)

The opposite order does not.

Here is the correct answer

$x=ereg_replace("/(\015\012)|(\015)|(\012)/","",$y);

Correction: that is 'a' correct answer. 🙂
