(php)is there a way to remove new lines(press enter) from a string?

[nicholas j]

lets say I want this:
$string = "I
like
pie";

to look like this:
$string = "I like pie"

 

[JarFillsme]

Yes,

$string = "I
like
pie";

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

--------

after this $string = "I like pie"

 

[Ratchetr]

Why not use .

$string = "I" .
" like" .
" pie";

Isn't that what . does?
