I am using CodeMirror to edit files in my application. To save the file I put the textarea-content in a form. Then I use
file_put_contents($filepath, $POST['textarea_name']):
This works fine and the file looks great in CodeMirror too. But when I take a look at the real files there are many empty lines added.
Example (dummy code):
<?php
if ( a > f) {
echo 'test';
}
function test() {
}
?>
becomes:
<?php
if ( a > f) {
echo 'test';
}
function test() {
}
?>
Does anyone has any idea where these lines are coming from?
Seems like I found a solution:
The files where saved with Windows EOL (CRLF) instead of Unix (LF).
str_replace(array("\r\n", "\r"), "\n", $filecontent );
This should fix the issue. It did work for me.
