One or more of these may work, determining which is best for your
application is up to you, they are all variations on a theme.

$contents = preg_replace("\n","\r\n",preg_replace("\r","",$contents);

$contents = preg_replace("\n","\r\n",preg_replace("\r\n","\n",$contents);

$contents = preg_replace("\n","\r\n",preg_replace("\r+\n","\n",$contents);

$contents =
preg_replace("\n","\r\n",preg_replace("(\r+\n+)+","\n",$contents);
