A php variable contains the following string:

<p>text</p>
<p>text2</p>
<ul>
<li>item1</li>
<li>item2</li>
</ul>

I want to remove all the new line characters in this string so the string will look like this:

<p>text</p><p>text2><ul><li>item1</li><li>item2</li></ul>

I've tried the following without success:

str_replace('\n', '', $str);
str_replace('\r', '', $str);
str_replace('\r\n\', '', $str);

Anyone knows how to fix this?

you can pass an array of strings to str_replace, so you can do all in a single statement:

$content = str_replace(["\r\n", "\n", "\r"], "", $content);

$str = "Hello World!\n\n";
echo chop($str);

output : Hello World!
