[SOLVED] How to remove (replace) carriage returns in output code..

[cgm225]

Let's say I have a line of code in a MySQL table as following:

 

This is some text in a database table with a carriage
return in the middle of it!

 

Now, if I grab that code and echo it, the text will show up in the browser with no line break, which is fine.  HOWEVER, if you look at the page source for that code, there is still the carriage return in the middle of the line.  My question is, how can I remove that carriage return from the text in the source code.

 

Sincerely,

Seems pointless if it's only when viewing source, but what you want to remove is the string is "r\n\" BEFORE you send the string to the browser.

so does the following look ok?

 

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

 

or is it

 

 

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

[cgm225]

neither of the above seem to work.. any ideas?

can we see some of that codes

[cgm225]

 

    db_connect();
    $query = "SELECT * FROM notes WHERE title = '$title'";
    $result = mysql_fetch_array(mysql_query($query));
    if (!$result['title']) {} else {
        $note = $result['note'];
        $noteID = $result['noteID'];
        $date = $result['date'];
        $time = $result['time'];

        $note_modified = str_replace("\r\n"," ", $note);

        $pubdate = date("D, d M Y H:i:s", $time) . " GMT";
        $item = "\t<item>\n\t\t<title>Notes:: $title</title>\n\t\t<link>http://www.kilbad.com/notes/$noteID</link>\n\t\t<guid>http://www.kilbad.com/notes/$noteID</guid>\n\t\t<pubDate>$pubdate</pubDate>\n\t\t<description>$note_modified</description>\n\t</item>\n\n";
        $handle = fopen($rss_file, 'a');
        fwrite($handle, $item);
        fclose($handle);
    }

    mysql_close();

 

I just want all of the text from the note to be in one continuous line in the outputted source code..

 

thanks

i feel stupid i tried so many thing even array but the ansewr is only

 

echo str_replace("\n"," ", $string);

Best of using an array of newline chars and removing them:

$note_modified = str_replace(array("\r\n", "\r", "\n"), "", $note);

@wildteen88 - That is the perfect solution!  Thank you so much!

 

@teng84 - Thank you for getting the ball rolling!
