sanfly Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 Hi, I have addresses stored in a mysql database in a text field, so they look like this Joe Bloggs 2345 Pleasant Road Auckland New Zealand However, I need to put these addresses into javascript, and javascript doesnt like things going over two lines. I want to remove the "hidden" carriage returns/new line codes that make it display over mulitple lines when I extract from the database, but I can seem to figure out how to do it. Have tried a million different permuations using str_replace. Can anyone suggest how they would do it?

hitman6003 Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 nl2br doesn't remove the newline characters in only inserts an html break before them.... Description string nl2br ( string $string ) Returns string with '<br />' inserted before all newlines. http://www.php.net/nl2br he needs them to be removed.
