replacing linebreak

[Ustag]

Hi I have a text field that when people add it to my database text and linebreaks looks like this in the db:

Hinextnext

With nl2br() it looks like this:

hi <br><br>next<br>next<br>

What I need is this:

hi<br><br>next<br>next<br>

Does anybody know what I can use to reach this instad of with nl2br()?

both will do the same job.i am not sure though why you need that.

I dont think you understand my question. Both what?I need everything in one line for my java script to work.

[birbal]

ohh...you need to use something like..

preg_replace("/[\n]/","",nl2br($content));

or

str_replace("\n","",nl2br($content));

I'm not sure why you'd need it all on one line, but you should be able to remove line breaks with this regular expression:JS regex: /(\r\n|\n|\r)/gmPHP regex: '/(\r\n|\n|\r)/s'Example usage:

var text = "Multiline		   text		   !"text.replace(/(\r\n|\n|\r)/gm, '');

Or PHP:

$text = "Multiline		   text		   !";$text = preg_replace('/(\r\n|\n|\r)/s', '');
