Allowing at most 2 newline in textarea
I want to allow at most 2 newline characters in a text area.
I want this solution in PHP or in PHP+JavaScript/jQuery. When ever the users enter more than 2 newline they will be replaced by 2 newline characters.The Input:
0
1
2
3
4

if (isset($_POST['t']))
{
$t2 = $_POST['t'];
$t3 = $_POST['t'];
$t4 = $_POST['t'];
echo $_POST['t'];
}
?>
</textarea>

2 <textarea name="t2">

$t2 = p开发者_开发技巧reg_replace('/\s*$^\s*/m', "\n", $t2);

}
?>
</textarea>
<br>
3 <textarea name="t3">
<?php
if (isset($_POST['t']))
{
$t3 = preg_replace("/[\n]+/m", "\n\n", $t3);
//$t3 = preg_replace("/[\r\n]+/m", "\n", $t3);
$t3 = preg_replace("/[\t]+/m", "\t", $t3);
$t3 = preg_replace("/[ ]+/m", " ", $t3);
//$t3 = preg_replace("/\s+/", ' ', $t3);
echo $t3;
}
?>
</textarea>
<br>
4 <textarea name="t4">
<?php
if (isset($_POST['t']))
{
//$t4 = preg_replace('/[\n\r]{2,}/', "\n\n", $t4);
$t4 = preg_replace( "\r\n\r\n([\r\n]+)", "\r\n\r\n", $t4);
echo $t4;
}
?>
</textarea>
<input type="submit">
</form>
</html>
Just do $subject = preg_replace('/\n{2,}/', "\n\n", $subject); That will catch two or more newlines and replace it with two newlines.
edit
If you wanted to be safer you might change the pattern to /[\n\r]{2,}/ to catch carriage returns as well but I think it's unnecessary.
Try this:
$data = "whatever data with \r\n\r\n\r\n more than \r\n two lines \r\n\r\n example";
$fixed_data = preg_replace( "\r\n\r\n([\r\n]+)", "\r\n\r\n", $data);
echo $fixed_data;
// should output: whatever data with \r\n\r\n more than \r\n two lines \r\n\r\n example
The above regex replacement should look for two new lines (with an optional infinite as many new lines) and replace them all with 2 new lines.
:)
$data = preg_replace('/(\r?\n){3,}/',"\n\n",$data);
