JavaScript view whitespace: newlines/line endings & tabs

View whitespace in JavaScript & PHP. This function replaces line endings/newlines and tabs:

Javascript
function raw(str) {
    return str.replace(/\t/g, '\\t')
              .replace(/\r\n/g, '\\r\\n')
              .replace(/\r/g, '\\r')
              .replace(/\n/g, '\\n');
}

The /g modifier finds and replaces all occurrences.

The equivalent for php to see whitespace would be:

PHP
function raw($str) {
    $str = str_replace(array("\t", "\r\n", "\r", "\n"),
                       array('\t', '\r\n', '\r', '\n'), $str);
    return $str;
}
