string manipulation

[dzisaacs]

when i echo a string i get the following result

<H1>Hello</H1>
<P><FONT color=#ff0000>World</FONT></P>

I need to convert it to

<H1>Hello</H1><P><FONT color=#ff0000>World</FONT></P>

Can someone help me in doing this?

Do you mean it is adding a line break? The <p> tag always does that, do you need you use a <p> tag?

I think you are referring to how this displays on the screen; i.e. you get Hello and then world on the next line. This is indeed a html issue - h1 and p tags are block level so they will clear to the next avilable line within the current element.

If that is the html you are outputting then you will have to change the display properties of h1 and p in your style sheet to:

h1 , p {
display: inline;
}

That will put it on one line BUT you will not have a space between words...

// i read this variable from the DB
$message = $db_Message

// i pass it to a function
echo "function($message)";

------

in the HTML it gets displayed like this

function('<H1>Hello</H1>
<P><FONT color=#ff0000>World</FONT></P>')

obviously this doesn't work for me because i need it to be like this


function('<H1>Hello</H1><P><FONT color=#ff0000>World</FONT></P>')

i need to do some manipulation in $message = $db_Message to have the string in this way <H1>Hello</H1><P><FONT color=#ff0000>World</FONT></P>
not this way
<H1>Hello</H1>
<P><FONT color=#ff0000>World</FONT></P>

any ideas?

[code]
<?php
$message=str_replace("\n","",$message);
?>
[/code]
That should strip out all the newline characters.
