Passing Variables and Removing Line Breaks

[mbrown174]

Hello
Im developing an application form for my work that uses several pages, each page contains a form. The variables from these forms are passed from one page to the next, till the last page and then it is stored as a php file. Trouble is the PHP file will have errors if someone presses enter in a text area. Im not sure what is causing it but I believe its caused by the linebreak.

How do I stop the enter key from breaking my form?
Thanks

what type of errors do you get?

you can try the str_replace() function to strip out any newline characters from your string.

Thanks for the quick reply but i already tried this and it didnt work.

$letterfield = preg_replace("(\r\n¦\n¦\r)", ' ', $letterfield); 

All I know is that when the new PHP page is generated using fwrite it wont display. This error comes up - Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in C:\xampp\htdocs\application\files\ertyeu .php on line 41

This is the line it has trouble with...

<?php $letterfield =_ryurtyurtyu_____
rtyurtyur;?>

Now as you can see its giberish, this is because I have been testing the form out with random characters to see if I could break it! It is the linebreak that causes the problem but I cant seem to get rid of it! Any ideas?

Thanks again!

Got it working - just removed HTML formatting by using the strip tags command!
