Remove linebreakes from textarea

[Anon]

Hi!
I guess this is simple but I can't seem to get it to work...

I have a textarea ($body) that I put along with some other vars into a textfile...
All the vars are supposed to printed on one line and the next input gets printed on the line below. This works perfectly until someone submits a $body with [return's] in it. That messes up the structure of the file...

So the input to the file I tried doing this:
$body = ereg_replace("/r/n", " ", $body);
but the linebreakes were still there...

Is there an easy way to replace the linebreaks with a ";" so I can explode it later on output?

Thanks

try:

$body = ereg_replace("\n", ";", $body);

I believe Unix stores carage returns with only \n but windows uses \r\n.

hi, I had this problem not too long ago.
To load the text file in I did this:

$oldcontents=implode("", file("$file"));
print("<textarea name=\"modmessage\" cols=\"100\" rows=\"15\">\n");
print($oldcontents);
print("</textarea><br>\n");

then when it wrote it it added extra line breaks so to get rid of them I did this before writing:

$HTTP_POST_VARS[modmessage] = ereg_replace("\r", "", $HTTP_POST_VARS[modmessage]);

hope that helped
