Using php to remove BRs

[Heath]

I have a video sitemap that is including br's in my description and giving me error messages on google. Is there a way to use one of these lines to remove the

</ br>

 

Here are the 2 lines of code i have been playing with to remove them. This is all I have so far.

			$description = str_replace("´", "", $row['description']);
		$description = preg_replace('/&(?!(#[0-9]+|[a-z]+);)/si',  '&',  $description);

maybe you can try <a href="http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.strip-tags.php"> stiptags </a>

That is one of the video sitemap outputs that has a

<br / > 

in it that continues to cause problems. There are over 100+ that also have this problem. So its imperative I get it worked out using php or else it is a lot of manual labor.

$text = str_replace("<br />", "", $text);

DarkWater can u wrap that in the code thing so I can see it all please?

 

Thank you very much!

[teng84]

$text = str_replace("<br />", "", $text);

@ health can we see your code so we can modify it

I edited my post and used code tags so the BR didn't actually line break, lol.

[Heath]

Awesome, that worked!

 

How ever now there is no space between things that had a br.... any way to add a space or something?

 

Here is my what I am editing..

 

		while ($row = $DB->fetch_row($query)) {
		$id = $row['id'];
		$name = str_replace("´", "", $row['name']);
		$name = preg_replace('/&(?!(#[0-9]+|[a-z]+);)/si', '&', $name);
		$description = str_replace("<br />", "", $row['description']);
		$description = preg_replace('/&(?!(#[0-9]+|[a-z]+);)/si',  '&',  $description);
		$pic = $row['pic'];
		$content .= "

[DarkWater]

$description = str_replace("<br />", " ", $row['description']);
