not working
it comes with line-breaks ...

Which method? The one firepages posted doesn't work because he used single quotes.

(I saw it mate, don't think you can delete it and hide. )

The method I posted does work cos I tried it;

<?php
 
$bar = "Hello, this is a \ntwo line string" ;
 
$foo = str_replace( "\n", "", $bar ) ;
 
echo "<pre>" ;
print_r( $foo ) ;
echo "</pre>" ;
 
?>

i actually want to put the $var in a javascript and it needds to be in one line but str_replace doesn't remove the line-breaks ...

e.g.

$var1 = "Hi
there
how are you ";

So when i output in html it shud come:

hi there how are you

You must be using an editor set for win32 line breaks. Try this:

<?php
 
$foo = str_replace( "\r\n", " ", $bar ) ;
 
?>

*note the space in the replace field.

lol Mincer - I deleted mine cos I saw yours and thought whats the point as I thought they were the same (I started my post 1/2 an hour before I actually pressed submit (no it didnt take me that long to work it out ))

And if I used single quotes then you are right it would not have worked ! - but hey it was only in existance for a few minutes
