To remove the whitespace at the end of lines, as well as change all different types of newlines to
\n:
$input = ereg_replace(" *\r\n| *\n| *\r)", "\n", $input);
------------
THEN:
To limit the number of newlines in a user's input, you can do this (modify for your situation):
#Reduces >2 newlines down to 2 newlines (Allows for "paragraphs"):
$input = ereg_replace("\n\n+", "\n\n", $input);
------------
THEN:
Don't forget to format the spaces that can mess with your system!
#Gets rid of extra spaces... do whatever suits your needs:
$input = ereg_replace("( +)", ' ', $input);
... and so on...
