Replace white space with <br />

[ego0]

Hey, I want to replace

 

"hi

 

 

 

hi"

 

the white space in the above so it looks like this

 

"hi

<br />

<br />

<br />

hi"

 

Is this possible?

 

Thank yous.

um, not sure but look at the strreplace() function

 

ie

$s = 'this is a string';

$ns = 'q';

 

$thing = strreplace('s', $ns, $s);

 

this would make $thing == "thiq iq a qtring"

 

good luck

erm... what!!

 

another function to look at is trim..

<?
$string = "Helllo, 
I'm desithugg.


Who are you?
";
echo nl2br($string);
?>

The above would show

Hello,

I'm desithugg.

 

 

Who are you?

If you are looking to replace newlines in a textarea input with <br />, then desithugg has the best solution. The function nl2br() is built for just that purpose.
