A simple function to take out the double line breaks "%0D%0A" from a string made from text
being wrapped in a textarea and turn them into single line breaks.
<?php
function remove_extra_linebreaks($string) {
$new_string=urlencode ($string);
$new_string=ereg_replace("%0D", " ", $new_string);
$new_string=urldecode ($new_string);
return $new_string;
}
?>
I use it when taking text from a textarea with wrap="hard" that I'm emailing out on
the next page, for instance. Otherwise there's an extra empty line between each line in the
emailed text, which looks nasty!
