Hi there,
anyone know how I take a form submission and replace occurances of double new
lines with a single new line.
so replace this:
"hello.\n
\n
how.\n
\n
dee-doo."
with:
"hello.\n
how.\n
dee-doo."
doing this doesn't seem to work:
$comment = ereg_replace("\n\n","\n",$comment);
thanks - dunstan
p.s. When the form is displayed I'm using nl2br() to format it correctly.
p.p.s. I hope the code doesn't render in your email reader!
