Hi there,

How do i go about converting a dos file into a unix file by using php? i.e. carriage returns etc.

regards,

Flukey :)

Lookup str_replace and file handling functions in the php manual.

Obviously i've done all that, however, i don't know all the stuff i'm looking for etc. :)

Oh. :)

The only differences I'm aware of are the characters that mark the end of a line. DOS uses CR+LF, unix uses just a LF and I think macs use just a CR.

That's a bit dated. Since OS/X Macs have used LF the same as unix.


$unixfile = str_replace("\r\n", "\n", $dosfile);
