 Have you thought of just using a regular str_replace() on your code? You
 can ask it to replace newlines and carriage returns with nothing and see
 if that fixes you problem?

 Yep I have tried str_replace to get rid of \n and it didn't work
 Boss mentioned to explode the var that is full of so many blank lines then 
 put it back together..seems like there has to be an easier way...

 This is what I tried:

 $tags = array('\n', 'br');$sNotes = str_replace($tags,, $notes);

That didn't work because \n needs to be between   instead of ' '.

Thanks Guys, ended up using Jim's way before inserting it into the db and it 
works like a charm

This is what workedon my page that inserts the data to the db I put

 //stripping white line spaces$cleanNotes = preg_replace('|\s+|', ' ', 
$notes);$cleanVios = preg_replace('|\s+|', ' ', $cleanViolations);

then I mysql_escaped them and put them in the db, checked the csv and presto 
perfect no extra linespacing
