is there any php method to remove new line char from string?
$str ="
Hi
there
";
my string contains a new line char between 'Hi' and 'there' i want output as a "Hi there".I don't want to use regular expression.

A:
$str=str_replace("\n", "", $str); should do it.
"\n" represents a newline in php.

It looks like you actually want them replaced with a space.
$str = str_replace(array("\r\n", "\n", "\r"), ' ', $str);
Assuming the replacing goes from left to right, this should suit Windows text files.
The first grouping is to match Windows newlines which use both \r and \n.

now produces ' Hi there ', if line terminator was both \r and \n as in windows files then you get double spacing

just needs the double space handler now - almost there (ps will +1 in oo 6 minutes, ty for the limits so)

@nathan What are you saying will double space - shouldn't the first replace cover the combination with a single space, and then the others will remove the Unix style line endings?

No reason to use `array("\r\n", "\n", "\r")` ... `array("\n", "\r")` should do it. But then again, if the input's coming from a web browser, "\n" should be enough I think...

A:
To get the expected results, you'll be needing:
$str = trim(str_replace( array("\r\n","\r","\n",' '), ' ' , $str));
or with regex (which is fail safe, you can't account for all the additional spacing you may get with str_replace version):
$str = trim(preg_replace( array('/\v/','/\s\s+/'), ' ' , $str)); // 'Hi there'

Hello,
You can use below script.
$str=str_replace("\n", "", $str);
Thanks
