Remove newlines from field

I am using a PHP script to pull information from a FoxPro database via ODBC. One of the fields is a memo field (large text) that contains newline characters. Displaying this info to the web page is fine as the newlines are ignored. The challenge is when I combine user entered text with the existing info and try to update the database. It fails with an "unrecognized command" because the end of field delimiter is on a different line. We're running on PHP 4.2.7 and I have tried using various combinations of str_replace to eliminate the newline characters, but I have been unsuccessful. Any suggestions?
