You can remove end of line characters using str_replace. $string = str_replace("n", "", $string); However I found that sometimes there is a combination r and n (carriage return and line feed). You can do a one liner to remove those. $string = str_replace("rn", "", $string); If you are not sure what order they are in (like me), you can use a regular expression function to replace all of the possible different permutations of r and n. See preg_replace for more info on syntax. $string = preg_replace("/rn|nr|n|r/", "", $string);
