creating new line as a delimiter 3

[chineerat]

hello!
i've been trying to create a string that starts "href" but delimited by a new line:
eg:

$link = strstr($fine, 'href')
$string = substr($link, 0, strpos($link,$new_line));

i have tried defining $new_line as:
$new_line = '\n';
$new_line = "\n";
$new_line = file_get_contents("new_line.txt");
where "new_line.txt" has a single new line.

nothing seems to work
am i doing something wrong ???
thanks in advance.

Try: $newline="\r\n";

Ignorance is not necessarily Bliss, case in point:
Unknown has caused an Unknown Error on Unknown and must be shutdown to prevent damage to Unknown.

yes, the \r\n is only intepreted as a carriage-return new-line when enclosed within double quotes.

there is a difference in php between single and double quotes that will trip you up again and again unless you read the manual.

where is the manual by the way?

Hi

If the string is enclosed in double-quotes ("), PHP understands more escape sequences for special characters
