I need to remove newline character using PHP from user input, so the input will show in one line for my CSV file. I’ve tried to use nl2br and str_replace the br tag but it doesn’t work. At the end, i need to use regular expression to solve this.

To remove newline character in PHP, follow the steps below:-

• U can try the code below

  $str = "there is new line\nin this string\n";
  $x = preg_replace("/\n|\r/", " ", $str);
  echo $x;
  

• Output will be:-

  there is new line in this string
  

  Notice that the newline now been replaced by white space
