I would suggest using the code I posted that started this sub-thread... :-) //The order of operations is crucual here: $string = str_replace("\r\n", "\n", $string); $string = str_replace("\r", "\n", $string); You could use arrays for str_replace, and reduce the function calls, but that relies on the ORDER in which the array/substitutions are processed. While I can't imagine the array version of str_replace doing them in reverse order, it is not currently a documented behaviour, so I personally would just take the penalty of 2 function calls, unless it's a proven performance problem (which seems unlikely).
