Remove newlines from a variable

[PS1983]

Hi!
I'm just trying to code a guestbook (for excercise purposes only), where I have a formular with 2 text inputs and a textarea field.
The entries are written in a textfile:
E.g:
Somebody Name|somebody@name.com|Some message a guy left|Timestamp|
The whole entry is one line of my file.

Now my problem is that when the message contains newlines (paragraphs,or whatever )the variable is written in more lines, keeping the newlines as they are...

I have tried several methods, but they didn't work out.

Maybe you can help me, I would appreciate it very much!

Thank you, bye
Steve

strEntry($textarea, "\n","something else");

 

[PS1983]

$textarea = str_replace("\n","<br>",$textarea);

works wonderful!
I just had the variable mispelled. =(

Thank's for your help!

Additional information under unix you need to filter \n and \r
then it works
$message2=str_replace("\r"," ",$message2);
$message2=str_replace("\n"," ",$message2);


Bye, steve

if that was the problem then also consider the nl2br function

$strText = nl2br($textarea);
