Never had to use \\r\\n, I would think since it's a CRLF you'd use \r\n to strip it...but you would be right, it could be a literal \r\n. I just confused myself I think.

well, the reason it's displaying "rn" on his screen is that its actually "\r\n" but PHP is escaping the backslashes and displaying the "rn" part. it's the same when you want to output a quote.

you cant use

echo """;

that would give you a syntax error...

youd have to use

echo "\"";

the backslash is not printed. so, although the "\r\n" is present, PHP is outputting it as "rn". so, to remove this you need to use "\\r\\n" as that would equate to "\r\n" in PHP.

this right? maybe im talkin out of my ass now

AFAIK \r\n is chr(13) + chr(10), the text area has chr(13)chr(10) because of the Win32 CRLF and PHP sees it as \r\n just like a tab would be \t so to remove chr(13)chr(10) and convert it to <BR> you would use a str_replace on \r\n

good point.

oh well, guess all we can do is wait for him to test it
