How to replace line like this say

$data="My name is
Rohan";

 

Now what I want to get the line in this format

$data="My name is - Rohan"

That is I want to replace newline character with " - ".

How to do it?

You can do:

 

$newdata = str_replace("\n", '-', $data);

 

Note: the double quotes are required when you want to parse special characters.

 

Hopefully that's what you meant.

But when I look in html page source the characters are in separate lines ?

 

And also what encoding does PHP uses while sending data from it

Say i builted a form in php file and send data using it it uses different encoding where if i send from a HTML form it uses different encoding

Oh, that may be because you're probably testing your script on windows, or you're hosting your test server on windows.

 

I forgot which is which, but if i remember correctly:

 

on windows linebreaks are \r\n

on linux it's \n

on mac it's \r

 

I'm guessing you're on windows, so try doing this instead:

 

$newdata = str_replace("\r\n", '-', $data);
