[SOLVED] Remove break lines

[SirChick]

Say i have a variable with this as its input:

 

G

f

h

s

hhss

s

f

 

when this is inputted into the database it goes in completely blank.. so was wondering if theres a way to remove the lines to make just spaces?

so it would become G f h s hhss s f

 

is this possible?

[kratsg]

//non-escaped version
str_replace('\n',''$str);
//escaped version
str_replace('\\n',''$str);

 

Those should do it. However, I forget if PHP reads \n as a new line inside a function or not, so try both ways, see which produces the output correctly.

That code wont work. You must use double quotes when using whitespace characters within strings:

 

$str = 'G
f
h
s
hhss
s
f';

$str = str_replace(array("\r\n", "\r", "\n"), ' ', $str);

echo $str; // outputs: G f h s hhss s f

thanks wildteen just one other quick question say i have a number 123,000

 

and i want it to be integer so there is no , do i do :

 

$str = '124,0002;

$str = str_replace(array(","), ' ', $str);

echo $str; 

?

In this case you don't need the array, since you only want to convert one thing into something else, not multiple things. So:

 

<?php

$str = "124,0002";
$str = str_replace(",", "", $str);
echo $str;

?>

 

Orio.

this should be the code or it might take out comma from a string say "hi there, how are you doing"

<?php
$str = '124,0002';

$str = preg_replace("/(\d+)\,(\d+)/", "$1$2", $str);

echo $str; 

?>
