1) str_replace is more than capable of doing this in a single  
statement - a regex is overkill.

2) You need to use double quotes around escape sequences (\n and \r)  
or they'll be ignored.

$replacements = array("\r", "\n", "\n\r", '<br>');
$keywords = str_replace($replacements, '.', $keywords);
