   goods:Fb,Teleg,Top,Prods.fm,Ad-...

A tried use:

You can use a combination of trim to remove leading and trailing whitespace, and preg_replace to replace all newlines and their surrounding spaces internal to the string with a single space:

$str = preg_replace('/\s*\R\s*/', ' ', trim($str));
echo $str;

Note in the above regex \R matches any newline (\r, \n) character.

Output:

This Like a Somthing awesome text with goods:Fb,Teleg,Top,Prods.fm,Ad-...
