Break lines

[brosjr]

Good morning,

 

I passed a bunch of HTML tags over a function that delete then, keeping just the text between. The problem is, after that all the tags were replaced by line breaks. Something like this before the function:

 

<tr>

<td>

Text

</tr>

</td>

 

After the function the 4 tags were correctly removed but instead i receive just the string "Text" I receive 2 line breaks, the "Text" and other 2 line breaks, like this:

 

 

 

Text

 

 

 

In HTML code this line breaks has no tags like <br> or <p> it's just blanck lines. I need to get just the text, how can I get rid of then? I tried this and also didn't work.

 

$text = str_replace("/n", "", $text );

 

Thanks

Danilo Jr.

Its actually

 

$text = str_replace("\\n", "", $text );

 

or even better

 

$text = preg_replace('!\s+!', ' ', $text);

Its actually

 

$text = str_replace("\\n", "", $text );

 

Escaping the backslash will look for the literal "\n", not the newline character. It's possible the string has DOS/Windows carriage return characters ("\r") in it as well. Try this:

 

$text = str_replace(array("\n", "\r"), '', $text);

Thankx dreamwest and MrAdam, both worked perfectly.

 

The point I was missing was the single slash to set the second value into str_replace:

 

$text = str_replace("/n", '', $text );

You mean backslash, not "single slash"? Just looked back at your post and realized you were using a forward-slash.
