Question

I’m busy with a PHP project that has to work in different languages, so I made a system with strings that are read from files, but when I want to read a file like this:

Username/ \n password wrong

It shows the \n instead of escaping it to a newline. How can I let PHP do this?

Thans already,

Answer 1

consider using a suitable storage format instead of something you created yourself. base64_encode(), or json_encode() would be good candidates.

But, to address your immediate problem, just use str_replace()

$new = str_replace('\n', "\n", $str);
