Question

I have a textarea with text entered on multiple lines.

I submit that using POST to my PHP file…but there are problems. I think they are to do with \n and \r in the text area because I am using “enter” to make a new line.

Is there a way using PHP or html I can see what exactly the POST is sending to my php, including the \n and other extra things?

Answer 1

You can try removing the \r and \n with something like:

$string = str_replace("\r\n",'',$string);

Firebug is also a good tool to see what is going on.
