I agree that Richard's answer is fine for the OP's stated problem.

I'm just suggesting to the OP that there might be other cases in his
input that he might want to consider:

(a) singleton \r (I don't know how his data is being created, but it
seems inherently flawed to me to assume that whatever "system" generates
data that can contain both "\r\n" and "\n" sequences will never generate
data that might contain a singleton "\r")

(b) chains of more than one "\r\n" or "\n" or even "\r" (it will be for
the OP to consider whether he wants to replace such chains with a single
"\r\n")

Given that both \n and \r are included in \s, perhaps even:

$contents = preg_replace("/\s*[\r\n]+\s*/","\r\n",$contents);

replacing 'any sequence of whitespace that includes at least one "\n" or
"\r"' with a single cr/lf pair.

could be useful to the OP?
