Removing NewLines from variables

Anon

I have written a script in PHP that communicates with an ASP script...

The problem is, it seems that almost every variable returned from this ASP script contains an extra NewLine (\n)...

How can I remove this new line?

Problem is that Windows uses "\r\n" for newline...And Unix uses only "\n". To get the extra \r out, do a str_replace:

$str = str_replace("\r", '', $str);

Actually, I tried:

$str = str_replace("\n", '', $str)

which removed the extra line, but comparing those variables to a value still did not work.

$str = str_replace("\r\n", '', $str) worked perfectly... thanks for the help!

But, I have a question... when does the Windows NewLine actually get added to a variable that is passed to a script? I didn't have to do the str_replace() on one page, but on the other I did...

I think input from textarea, when it is multiline, it adds \r\n. Some files have \r\n at the end also.

Now... is this only a problem when running on a Windows server, or is it a problem with ASP in general?

Anon

It's not a "problem"...It's just incompability - different operating systems handle new lines differently.
