Linebreaks in textarea

[olaf]

Hallo,

I write some text from a form into text-file.
So far so good.

i use str_replace("\n", "" ,$textarea) to remove linebreaks and technically it looks ok(after echo the string). But if i open the text-file the linebreaks are still there.

Is there another string-function?

And is this maybe a windows problem?

After you've read the text file it's in a string. If you then remove the line breaks you've only removed them from the string which is holding the contents of the text file. In order to change what is actually in the text file you have to write the data back to the text file.

I think you may need ereg_replace or preg_replace for this one

Hallo,

this line breaks in the textfike are not real. (i mean reprensented by /n)
by submitting the form I build new row's seperated by ";".
Something from a hidden field (the var) and the string from the textarea. The seperator is on the right postion but if I open the file there are line breaks.

(like in this textarea)

By the way, I get the same reuslt in phpMyAdmin if I use "Enter" in a textarea.
