What's the context of this?  Have you got some HTML in a string in php, and you want to remove every other <br/> from it?

This is VERY inefficient, but would work:
[code]<?php

$str= "This text<br />has too<br /> many breaks<br />in it.<br /><br /> Let's take some <br /> of them <br /> out.";

$strAry = explode("<br />", $str);

$str = "";

for ($i=0; $i<COUNT($strAry); $i=$i+2) {
    $str .= $strAry[$i];
    if (isset($strAry[$i+1])) { $str .= "<br />" . $strAry[$i+1]; }
}


echo $str;
?>[/code]

You can do it with regular expressions.

ex
[code=php:0]echo preg_replace('~(.*?<br />.*?)<br />~s', '\\1', $str);[/code]
