ldsmike88 Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 I have a text area that I use nl2br on after you fill it out. Now that is just fine for displaying purposes, but if you go back to edit the information in the text area it shows it formatted like it should be but it also includes all the <br />'s. If you don't take out all the line breaks all of then double. How do you take out all the line breaks before displaying it in the text area? Thanks!Michael Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/25272-problem-with-nl2br/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
php_joe Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 [b]$test = str_replace("< br>", "", $text);[/b] will strip them out. (remove the space in the html break) Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/25272-problem-with-nl2br/#findComment-115235 Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenrbnsn Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 You should store the raw data from the user, after validating and washing it. Only use nl2br() when displaying the data.Ken Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/25272-problem-with-nl2br/#findComment-115239 Share on other sites More sharing options...
