probably a stupid question but i've googled and checked what books i have and the forum and maybe i'm not searching for the right thing but this is the problem i'm having
i'm writing a simple php script that takes input from a textarea form, passes it to a string variable, then i pull out what i don't want of the string using regex. (i know the regex isn't as elegant as it can be, i just tossed it together to get something working).
<form action="strip.php" method="post">
<textarea name="text" cols=70 rows=50></textarea>
--strip.php follows:Code: Select all
<?php
$text_data = $_POST['text'];
print($text_data . "<br><br>");
if (strlen($text_data) > 0)
{
$new_data = eregi_replace("[\[0-9]+[0-9]+:[0-9]+[0-9]+:[0-9]+[0-9]+]\ ","",$text_data);
print($new_data);
}else{
print("Invalid Entry. Try Again.");
}
?>now, let's say for instance the input sitting in the textarea looks like
Code: Select all
[00:00:01] garbage
[00:00:02] in
[00:00:03] garbage
[00:00:04] outCode: Select all
garbage
in
garbage
outCode: Select all
[00:00:01] garbage [00:00:02] in [00:00:03] garbage [00:00:04] out
garbage in garbage outam i missing something obvious? it seems as if the string variable doesn't hold the carriage returns? what can i do to fix this
