Hi,

I have a form, where the user enters text. After submit, the text is
then inserted into a PostgreSQL database. So far, so good.

The problem is, that most of my users copy&paste their text from MS Word
into the textbox. Now I have these (hidden) linebreaks in the string
that cause trouble when I furter process the text.

Is there a way (maybe just a simple PHP command) to get rid of these
formating things. I presume I would have to kind of "convert" the string
to unformatted text somehow.

Thanks for your input,
georg
