MockY Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 When using nl2br() to convert line breaks to <br /> from a textfield in a html form, the string always contain alot of white space between the <br /> character. For example, this is what is printed and ultimately stored in my database: Some scentence<br /> <br /> Some more words<br /> and yet some more<br /> and some more But I want the input to be a string with no added white space like this: Some scentence<br /><br />Some more words<br />and yet some more<br />and some more How would I go about to remove the white space that is somehow added to the right of the <br /> tag?

QuickOldCar Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 You must be using both <br /> and also new line \n or \r return Should look at some functions on that page others have made to eliminate both methods and use just one. http://php.net/manual/en/function.nl2br.php Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/241031-how-do-i-remove-white-space-to-the-right-of-a-specific-character/#findComment-1238062 Share on other sites More sharing options...
MockY Posted July 4, 2011 Author Share Posted July 4, 2011 $text = str_replace("\r\n", "", $text); That did the trick. Thanks!
