str_replace question

[legal-medium]

Why doesn't this work? I must be missing something

////////////////////Begin Snippet

$string = "this string needs all the line breaks removed

as you can see there is a line break I want to remove it";

I want to remove the line breaks with the following function however it is not working

$newsparsed=str_replace("%\n%", "", $string );

//////////////////////End Snippet

this is the result I need

$string = "this string needs all the line breaks removed as you can see there is a line break I want to remove it";

Thanks

in linux line breaks are represented as \n but in windows its \n\r .
also you dont need to use %

try

$newsparsed=str_replace("\n", "", $string );
or
$newsparsed=str_replace("\n\r", "", $string );
