substr_count should do the trick:
substr_count( $your_string, "\n" );
Solution 2 - Php
You can use PHP's substr_count()
function: http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.substr-count.php
substr_count($myString, "\n");
It will give you an integer with the number of occurrences.
Solution 3 - Php
i Think substr_count( $your_string, "\n" ); should be:
$numLine = substr_count( $your_string, "\n" ) +1;
But I use this:
$numLine = count(explode("\n",$your_string));
it always return correct result
Solution 4 - Php
$count=preg_match_all ('/\n/',$str);
