How can I with php detect when there is a carriage return at the end of the text field in a mysql table?

get the data out of the DB first. stick it in $myString $myString = "wtf I fond a carriage return - horsedrawn even.\n"; if (preg_match("#[\n|\r|\r\n]$#", $myString)) { echo "wtf I fond a carriage return - horsedrawn even."; } tip: using trim() on $myString will strip a trailing CR. tip: want to allow blank spaces after the CR, use this regexp instead. "#[\n|\r|\r\n][ ]*$#" e.g: $myString = "wtf I fond a carriage return - horsedrawn even.\r\n "; if (preg_match("#[\n|\r|\r\n][ ]*$#", $myString)) { echo "wtf I fond a carriage return - horsedrawn even."; } now can I have your roomkey? :-P also if you want to know what \n and \r and \r\n are about then you might start by searching for posts by Marco Tabini 3 days back on this list
