PHP Regex: How to match \r and \n without using [\r\n]?

Question

I have tested \\v (vertical white space) for matching \\r\\n and their combinations, but I found out that \\v does not match \\r

Answer 1

To match a newline in PHP, use the php constant PHP_EOL. This is crossplatform.

if (preg_match('/\v+' . PHP_EOL ."/", $text, $matches ))
   print_R($matches );
