You don't have to use stripslashes() on data coming out of a database unless
you have magic_quotes_runtime enabled. If you find that you do need to call
it, then you're running addslashes() twice before the data is inserted.

This will get rid of the \n, but leave the \r there. On windows, you'll
still see a newline even with just the \r remaining. If you know everything
is coming from Windows, replace \r\n with an empty string. Unix uses just a
plain \n and Macs use just \r, while Windows uses \r\n. Adjust your
str_replace accordingly if you need to account for data from all three
possible OS.
