passing value from text area

[Anon]

Hi everyone,

I want to pass value from text area box. Now, everytime the person hit the enter button inside the text area, it will create special invisible characters for it. NOw, how do I eliminate this? Because when I want to pass it to the socket communication, it breaks the value and ends with ^M. I tried to strip ^M from the variable of textarea, but still it didn't work.
Anyone know the solution for this?
Thanks.

Mike

Try stripping \r instead of ^M

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