cut out tabs and breaks

[lukelukeluke]

hi guys,
i was wondering if there are functions to kill tabs and breaks...
my variable looks like this:

$var1 = " some
content of m
y variable "

it should be like
$var1 = "some content of my variable"

how can i shorten it?

Maybe something like this:

$var1 = "        some
content of m
y variable            ";

$var1 = trim($var1);
$var1 = str_replace("\n", "", $var1);
$var1 = str_replace("\r", "", $var1);
$var1 = str_replace("\r\n", "", $var1);

echo $var1;

What about a quick regex?

$pattern = "/(\n|\r|\t)/";
$newString = preg_replace($pattern,'', $string);

Fine with me. One cannot give regex solutions when one cannot figure out regex's for the life of himself.

thanks alot for the answers!
i tried to string_replace some like these:
$replace1 = "
";
$replace2 = " ";

but now i see that you have to replace \n and \t..
thanks!

if you want to transform the \n to <br>, use nl2br() (good for cms handling)
