I messed something up, for some reason my textarea is not saving the text to a single line in the text file. I've got a standard text box that users may hit the enter key to establish different paragraphs within their post, however, for some reason it carries the CRLF down to the variable and the text file I'm posting it all too, I know that this is more html than PERL, but how do I remove the CRLF, and just have the ^M again? Help.

The split just returns a list of the lines, so we can stick that in an array.
