How do I tell PHP to look for an LF end of line break?

[scott.stephan]

So I've got this code that looks for line breaks and if it finds them, it removes them by smashing together the two strings:

 

$add_check=explode(???,$address);
if($add_check[2]){
$address=$add_check[1]." ".$add_check[2];
}

 

The problem is that I don't know WHAT to tell it to look FOR. I know it's the LF line break, which is \010 or + or *, but none of those seem to work. What do I fill "???" in with to tell PHP to look for the LF break?

\r is a carriage return, \n is a new line

 

\r is used in windows applications along with \n, and on *nix you only need \n, if you remove the \r from the windows text you'll still have the same, line seperated text.

 

just seperate by \n

Right- But I'm not looking to SEPERATE. This file is specifically coming in with LF linebreaks and I need to find them and remove thm.

\n seemed to drop all my "n"s, can I use '\n'?

[RussellReal]

you use "\n" not '\n'

I use PHP_EOL

 

for example, with this code:

$text = "this is some text\r\nand this is another line";
echo $text . '<br />';
echo str_replace(PHP_EOL, ' ', $text);

 

If you look at the source code, you will see:

 

This is some text
and this is another line
This is some text and this is another line
