Re: Re: [PHP] CR and LF Filtering

How about : function stripSpace($string,$suffix=' ') { $pieces = split('[[:space:]]+',$string); foreach ($pieces as $piece) { $new_string .= $piece . $suffix; } Return $new_string; } This should do what you want, right? Where $suffix is what goes between every word (' ' being a space). The above shoulds strip newlines, carriage returns and tabs (all spaces). Regards, Philip --.sig [ Want to write Good code?
