Hello All,

I'm having some issues with carriage returns. Specifically the control M

creating. Here's the code.

while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)){

   // assign and clean vars
   $artist = trim($row[artist]);
   $tdDate = trim($row[start_date]);
   $venue = trim($row[venue]);
   $city = trim($row[CITY]);
   $state = trim($row[STATE]);
   $country = trim($row[COUNTRY]);
   $tdId = trim($row[td_id]);

   // create string

   $line = $artist|||$tdDate||$venue|$city|$state|$country|$tdId\n;

   // validate the string

  if(preg_match(/.*.|||.*.||.*.|.*.|.*.|.*.|.*.n\//, $line)){
  // record is correct so write line to file
  fwrite($handle,$line);
  }
}


So ^M slips right by trim and my preg_match line.



Where is the carriage return appearing in your line of output?  Trim 
will remove these, but only at the beginning/end of a string so if 
$artist = Paul\rNowosielski that won't get cleaned up...


Maybe run them through ereg_replace() using [\n\r] as a pattern?


Or maybe use the m modifier?

[PHP] Stripping control M character (^M)

Hello All,

I'm having some issues with carriage returns. Specifically the control M
character (^M). I have attempted to clean and validate the file I'm

 while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)){

// assign and clean vars

$tdDate = trim($row[start_date]);

$tdId = trim($row[td_id]);

// create string

$line = $artist|||$tdDate||$venue|$city|$state|$country|$tdId\n;

// validate the string

   if(preg_match(/.*.|||.*.||.*.|.*.|.*.|.*.|.*.n\//, $line)){
   // record is correct so write line to file
   fwrite($handle,$line);
   }




}


So ^M slips right by trim and my preg_match line.

Any ideas??

TIA
