Remove carriage returns?

[dreardon]

I need to remove carriage returns from a string that is being passed for it to execute properly. There are carriage returns throughout the string so trim isn't an option for this one. I couldn't think of a function or find one that would do the trick...any ideas?

[man]str_replace[/man]?

Also try trim() which will strip carriage returns and other escape characters, in addition to white space at the beginning and end.

couldn't get trim() to work and still not sure why...that was what i initially tried and failed. then tried again after you suggested it and just couldnt get my script to do it. 😕

however, str_replace() did the trick.
it didn't seem to like this syntax though:

$content = str_replace("\r","",$content);

this syntax did work

$x;
$br = "<br>";
$content = str_replace("\r",$x,$content);
$content = str_replace("\n",$br,$content);

Thanks for the suggestions, managed to wrap up that project thanks to the feedback.
