Question

here is the variable :

$letexts = "Hello this is a sample


after 2 return breaks there is ...



another 3 return breaks";

As you can see there are 2 return breaks and then after that 3 return breaks.
I would like to be able to have this results:

echo $letexts;

will display:

Hello this is a sample

after 2 return breaks there is ...

another 3 return breaks

I used all of these and NONE worked so it got me pulling my hair:

$letexts = preg_replace("/\r\n\s*\r\n/", "\r\n", $letexts);
$letexts = str_replace(array("\r", "\n", "\r\n"), "\r\n", $letexts);
$letexts = trim($letexts);
$letexts = preg_replace('~[\r\n]~','',$letexts);

any suggestions please?

If you want to display in html.

Use the function nl2br.
