How do I remove white space to the right of a specific character

[MockY]

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?

<?php
$text ="Some scentence<br />
<br />
Some more words<br />
and yet some more<br />
and some more";

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

?>

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.

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

 

That did the trick. Thanks!
