I have been trying similar arrangements, but to no avail. I think it
has something to do with the actual string I am checking - it's an SQL
statement. I am trying to create a log of SQL statements in a textfile,
and the newline/return characters that people put in the TEXTAREA is
screwing it up. But I can't for the life of me figure out why test code
such as this does not strip out the \n's...
-----
$sql = "UPDATE contact set firstname = 'rory', lastname = 'jones',
interest = 'rory', optin = 'yes', comments = 'hello\n\n,rory' WHERE id =
5055";
$sql2=$sql;
$sql2=str_replace("","\n",$sql2);
$sql2=str_replace("","\r",$sql2);
-----
it is still outputting the following to my log:
-----
UPDATE contact set firstname = 'rory', lastname = 'jones' interest =
'rory' optin = 'yes' comments = 'hello
,rory' WHERE id = 5055;
-----
Any help is appreciated!
Thanks
