Line breaks

OK, so...

I am entering text in a flash text field, which gets sent to a mysql database. This later gets retrieved by php, and folded into a javascript function, so that another swf can use that data.

The problem is, if there are any line breaks in the initial text, then that ends up in the javascript function, and is seen as an error.

So to solve it, I will attempt to get the php file that takes the text out of the database, to convert that line break into something that the javascript function can stand, and that the swf can interpret.

Continuation -

Yeah, that worked. First I tried nl2br, which is supposed to put html linebreak tags where the line breaks are, although I din't see this effect. But this would have required me to make changes to my flash file.

So I used:

$lineBreaks = Array("\n","\r");
$iQuestion = ...get text from MySQL database
$oQuestion = str_replace($lineBreaks,'\u000d',$iQuestion);

$lineBreaks is an array of possible ways in which the line breaks may come down, I wasn't sure if this would differ depending on the user's operating system etc.
