Stupid problem...

[mrblom]

Hi there!
I have a PHP/MySQL system for updating news to a site...
When I first insert a "news" to my DB, I use the nl2br($text) function.

My problem is that when I later want to edit the text when I'm logged on, I print the text to a form(textarea). It all works out good, but it also prints all the <br /> tags...

Is there a function that can do this for me?

Thanks!
Kristian

I mean remove the <br /> tags and print it like when displaying the news.

Try use
str_replace("<br>", "\n", $text)
before print it out

why don't you just store the text 'as is', and use nl2br() when you print it on the site?

I tried it out and it worked.

But i didn't need to use "\n".

str_replace("<br>", "", $text)

Thanks!
