Note Submitter: o_lmo (hotmail) ---- I was creating this CMS, that used a file to store data, and i ran into this problem: every line had to represent a seperate piece of data, but the pieces of data should be allowed to contain newlines. So i wrote these two functions: function to_text( $string) { // removes all newlines etc... $string = str_replace( '\\', '\\\\', $string); $string = str_replace( "\n", '\n', $string); $string = str_replace( "\r", '\r', $string); return $string; } function from_text( $string) { // puts 'em back... $string = ereg_replace( '([^\\\\])\\\\n', "\\1\n", $string); $string = ereg_replace( '([^\\\\])\\\\r', "\\1\r", $string); $string = str_replace( '\\\\', '\\', $string); return $string; } Basically, newlines get replaced by literal \n's, carriage returns by literal \r's and backslashes by (literal ;p) \\'s. Hope this helps!
