make php function to add line break

[mackin]

hi,

 

i am using a database to populate a webpage with text. How do I make a function to add line breaks to the text?

 

an example page I want to use it on it

You can see the two text areas of description and facilities have no paragraphs or other formatting.

 

I want the code to scan the text - and if there is say <br> - it will remove it an replace it with a line break.

actually i just reread your post... not sure what you mean... <br> is a line break... so i'm not sure what you are wanting to replace <br> with..

 

$replacement = ??

 

$str = preg_replace('/<br\\s*?\/??>/i', $replacement, $str); };
