add content into mysql

[Anon]

Dear all,

When I add the large content to the mysql table through php, I do not add any "carry return" but there are still a lot of <br> characters in the content. Why?

Thanks
Richard

Hello,
with PHP you have inserted the content with a HTTP-post. A <br> is the logical solution for this behaviour.

Use htmlspecialchars($content) to strip HTML-Tags from the text or use f.e. str_replace() to replace the <br> with /n
