Re: string formatting help

In the original message below, did you mean that you're actually SEEING the <br> tags in the output? If so, there may be a conversion with htmlentities() going on somewhere that converts the <br> tags to &lt;br&gt; (so they are displayed instead of being interpreted). If you replaced the <br>'s with spaces or newlines, the output _should_ all be on one line, since HTML considers ALL strings of whitespace (tabs, newlines, returns, spaces) to be a single space. If you replaced <br>'s with newlines and you are getting the line breaks still, your output may be in a <pre>...</pre> block. - steve At 3:36 PM -0300 7/6/01, "InÈrcia Sensorial" <inerte@hotmail.com> wrote:

Maybe: $array = explode("<br>", $string); foreach ($array as $key => $value) {

    echo "$value";

} Would separate the string by <br>'s and print all in one line.

Or, more compactly: echo str_replace('<br>', '', $string); This would only work if tags were lowercased; to handle mixed case, you'd need to do echo eregi_replace('<br>', '', $string); or use the preg equivalent

I'm trying to pull a string from a database to use in a javascript function.. but it's doing line breaks on me, which in turn messes up the javascript. The string in the mysql db is like: kjdsakjadk<br>skjdks<br><br>kjkdfjdfkjfd When I pull it out, it becomes: kjdsakjadk <br> skjdks <br> <br> kjkdfjdfkjfd I've tried replacing the br's with blank spaces or new line characters,

but

in the html code it still breaks on those breaks when I echo it back out. How can I force this string to be all on one line? Thanks,

Chad
