Php check problem End of line is not valid; expected "\ n" but found "\ r \ n"

Question

I am using Sublime text editor. I want to check the Prestashop module in validator . But this shows an error, like End of line character is invalid; expected "\n" but found "\r\n" End of line character is invalid; expected "\n" but found "\r\n" This line of code contains only <?php . I searched and replaced "\ r \ n" with "\ n" from different editors. But it doesn’t work at all. Can you tell me how to solve this problem? Any help and suggestions will be really noticeable. Thanks

Answer 1

This is a problem with the operating system. This happens when you code cross platform. Operating systems have different ways of interpreting the end of a line. Here it can help:

Convert Line Ends

In addition, sublime has a solution for this. If you are encoding Unix, make sure you change line breaks for Unix. View->Line Endings->Unix

This solution is actually a bit deeper:

Answer 2

The most elegant solution is encoding with linux, not windows, because it's simple: linux uses \ n for the string, windows use \ r \ n

most editors that are more advanced than notepad support converting a file from windows to linux-style. just browse their respective menus.

and provide a solution written in PHP:

 <?php $input = file_get_contents("old.php"); $data = str_replace("\r\n", "\n", $input); file_put_contents("new.php"); 

your replacement probably didn't work, because most regular editors use backslashes just like backslashes, and don't interpret \ n as an escape sequence for a newline, but just like backslashes and n.
