Convert newline to space.

[bhavesh]

Can anybody tell me how do i convert newline character to space.
I tried str_replace to find \n but that does not work, because the string does not show \n at all. I even tried converting nl2br and then str_replace of <br /> or <br> to space, but still it does not work.

$new_string = preg_replace("/\n/"," ",$old_string);

Could it be that the new lines are stored as \r instead of \n?

In that case:

$new_string = preg_replace("/\n|/\r/"," ",$old_string);

Is that the correct syntax bor both?

Allmost, remember that if newlines are '\r\n', then "/\n|\r/" will replace the \r with a space, AND the \n with a space. that makes two spaces.....
