get rid of linebreaks from BLOB

[adrianpeyton]

Hi,
Im trying to do the opposite to the normal request of inserting linebreaks from blobs.

I need to remove all linebreaks from the BLOB so that I can pass it into a javascript function

say, the text is stored as a blob as follows
line 1
line2

line 3

I want it to be
<a href="javascript://" onmouseover="popup("line1line2line3,'beige')">

instead of what im getting now which causes a javascript error when the page loads
<a href="javascript://" onmouseover="popup("line1
line2
line3,'beige')">

explode and concat.. that should do the work

Or you could try and use [man]str_replace()[/man]

Just run a loop that loops through the variable until no line breaks are found.

<?
While (strpos($StringVariable , "\n")) { 
  $StringVariable = str_replace("\n","",$StringVariable); 
} 
?>

Ive tried that, but in the source code it still appears on seperate lines.....

so its not on the HTML page that I need the linebreaks, its actually in the source code

Thanks,
Adrian

If you programmed it on a Windows or Mac machine, you may also have a carriage return. Try replacing all \r and \ns.
