ereg_replace <br> from $username

[Anon]

Hi,

I have a problem with removing some unwanted characters from a variable.

Say I have a varible name $username.

When I print $username I get Admin<br>

Can anyone tell me how to remove the <br> part of this string. ie.

Something like

$username = ereg_replace("<br>", "" $username);

Please help me.

Regards,

Steve

why not $user_name = str_replace("<br>","",$user_name) ?
or $user_name = strig_tags($user_name);
