trim removes whitespace before the first none-whitespace character in a
string, and all the whitespace after the last none-whitespace character in the
same string.
if you trim this string " a z ", you get "a z", you can have what ever kind
of whitespace charactes between a and z without them being removed.

In this case eregi_replace could work, replace "\n" with a " " and you should
get one line. http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.eregi-replace.php
