How do you find a line break in php?

Question

Sorry I ain't that good with PHP yet, I tried this to find it and then put each line in an array

$translate="this
is in
multiple
lines";
$lastBreak=0;
$it=array();
$ci=0;
for ($i=1;$i<strlen($translate);$i++) {
    if strchr(substr($translate,$i,$i),"\n") {
        $it[$ci]=substr($translate,$lastBreak+1,$i-1);
        $ci+=1;
        $lastBreak=$i;
    }
}

help?

Solution 1

$it = explode("\n", $translate);

:)

Solution 2

Updated:

it can produce an unexpected linebreak, this variation may help:

$arry_lines = explode("[\n|\r]", $translate);

split is deprecated as of PHP 5.3 and shouldn't be used anymore.

[dfmiller]

The explode function does not allow a regular expression. Use preg_split instead: $arry_lines = preg_split("/[\r|\n]+/", $translate);

[dfmiller]

To handle all line delimiters, use a regular expression in preg_split: $arry_lines = preg_split("/[\r|\n]+/", $translate);
