[RESOLVED] Remove Carriage Return?

[homer09001]

how can i replace a carriace return with a <br> and make the sting a single line before writing it to the file?

		$fh = fopen($Gbookfile, "a");
		$string = str_replace("\n", "<br>", $comment);
		fwrite($fh, $string);

that does half the job of replacing the carriage return but when it write it to the file it enters it like so:

whereas i want it in one line like so for the sake of tidiness in my file?:

:confused::cool::cry::happy::grin::drool::mad::sad::sleepy::tongue::suprised::smile:<br><br><br>TESTING JS<br>TESTING JSTESTING JSTESTING JS<br><br>TESTING JSTESTING JS<br><br><br><br>TESTING JS<br><br>TESTING JSTESTING JS<br>TESTING JS

Thanks in advance.

something like:

    $fh = fopen($Gbookfile, "a");
$string = nl2br($comment);
$sting=preg_replace("/(\r\n)+|(\n|\r)+/", "", $string); 
        fwrite($fh, $string);
