Re: [PHP] Re: Replacing newlines (\n) with smething else
But what if say I want to replace a newline with something else, say
/pp. How would I do that?
(with apologies for the lack of imagination :-P)
?php
$George = Hello\n\tall\nyou\nfriendly people;
echo 'George: ' . $George . \n;
$Henry = str_replace( \n, /p\np, $George );
$Henry = 'p' . $Henry . /p\n;
echo 'Henry: ' . $Henry . \n;
$Helen = Kindest\r\tgreetings\nto all\r\nyou\n\rwonderful people;
echo 'Helen: ' . $Helen . \nSee what that \\r does?\n\n;
$Marion = str_replace( \r, \n, $Helen );
$Marion = str_replace( \n\n, \n, $Marion );
$Marion = str_replace( \n, /p\np, $Marion );
$Marion = 'p' . $Marion . /p\n;
echo 'Marion: ' . $Marion . \n;
$Juliet = preg_replace( '/([^\r\n]*)(\r\n|\n\r|\r|\n)/',
p\${1}/p\n, $Helen );
$Juliet = preg_replace( '/([^\r\n]+$)/',
p\${1}/p\n, $Juliet );
echo 'Juliet: ' . $Juliet . \n;
?

This is what I tried and it doesn't work. $article = str_replace(\n, br, $article); What am I doing wrong? $article is the string to replace the newlines in. I tried this with a period and that works as expected. Can I not replace newlines this way? why not just: $article = nl2br($article); -- J.

I did not know about nl2br. Thanks. But what if say I want to replace a newline with something else, say /pp. How would I do that? Jason On Sun, 2003-07-13 at 17:09, J.
