I get That php.net <pre>

Have you ever wanted to remove the '<br />' tags between
'<pre>' and '</pre>' tags after a call to nl2br()? I just
figured out how to do this and thought others would benefit.

$html = preg_replace(
"/(<pre>)([\w\W]*)(<\/pre>)/e",
"'\\1'.str_replace('<br />','','\\2').'\\3'",
$html);

___________
I want to do same with <textarea> .. I try this code

$html = preg_replace(
"/(<textarea>)([\w\W]*)(<\/textarea>)/e",
"'\\1'.str_replace('<br />','','\\2').'\\3'",
$html);

__________
but it does not work ... Why ?

that is because you are a nim rod.....


if you want to remove the <br> tags then just do htmlspecialchars()

or something like that.

textarea is a lot different then a <pre> tag. why are you even doing php because you apparently don't get it.

please .. I want to remove <br> that beetwen <textarea> and </textarea>

I try above code .. but for sorry does not work .. so can you tell me the right code,please?

Cant you just

$text = str_replace("<br>","",$_REQUEST[textarea]);

scathing! :D

for one when you submit text from a text area there is no <br> tags in it unless you insert them your self through code.


if you are doing this then just don't do it.

come on

I insert <br> by code because I want to use this code also with text :

$html=str_replace("\r\n", " <BR> ",$html);

Sorry I have no clue what your doing now, you want it to add <br> then remove it again? what?

because I have text contain from many line ! for example :
____________________
do
not
forget
to write this code

[textarea]
The
Code
Is
Here
[textarea]
___________________

so I want replace new line with "<BR>" except new line that between [textarea] and [/textarea]

That will not help me.

please try to tell me what is the wrong in this code:

$html = preg_replace(
"/(<textarea> )([\w\W]*)(<\/textarea> )/e",
"'\\1'.str_replace('<br />','','\\2').'\\3'",
$html);


Why it work with <pre> but does not work with <textarea> ?

listen and listen carefully.

<pre> tag is not a form tag <textarea> is a form tag. you cannot get the stuff between <textarea>stuff</textarea> because there is nothing there. it is contained in a variable that is produced by name.

<textarea name="something"></textarea>

if you don't want no <br> in the textarea then don't putting any in.

now you say you are using [textarea][/textarea] so which is it.

if you are using [textarea] then YES that link will help you. if you are using str_replace() to take out all the \r\n then DON'T DO IT.

why is this so hard.................
