Now the question is - how the heck did I put that in there? Certainly not intentionally. The data is captured from a d/e screen I wrote and it simply grabs the post value and inserts a new record with that value along with some other values. And I don't see anything concatenating a LF to my string.
Is this a browser being used for input? Never assume what a browser will do. It is good practice to validate and condition data before inserting into a database. Consider trimming the data before doing the INSERT. I do validate my data by quoting it but I never expected to have to do a trim to remove a LF. Especially on an iphone for input, since it's not easy to enter a LF.
