How do I read a “,” as “<br />” in PHP/MySQL?

This is my code:

$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM characters WHERE namn = 'Jargon'");

while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
  {
  echo "<div class='content_left'>";
  echo "<div class='blue_text_header'>Information</div>";
  echo "<h1>";
  echo $row['Namn'];
  echo "</h1>";
  echo "<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />";
  echo "<div class='red_text_header'>Obekräftade fall</div>";
  echo " " . $row['unconfirmed'];
  echo "</div>";
  echo "<div class='content_right'>";
  echo "<div class='orange_text_header'>Andra namn</div>";
  echo $row['Alias'];
  echo "<br />";
  echo "<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />";
  echo "<div class='green_text_header'>Bekräftade fall</div>";
  echo " " . $row['confirmed'];
  }

mysql_close($con);

?>

And the output for “Alias” is for example: hello,no thanks,I don’t like you
but instead I want the output to be like:

hello
no thanks
I don’t like you
What I mean is I want to switch every coma for a line break and how do I do that and where do I put the code? I made another question, but I forgot to ask where to put the code, I don’t know PHP, most is just copy paste and it’s for a project that has to be done 2morrow.

Answer 1

Use the str_replace() function.

echo str_replace(',','<br />', $row['Alias']);

http://php.net/manual/en/function.str-replace.php

$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM characters WHERE namn = 'Jargon'");

while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
  {
  echo "<div class='content_left'>";
  echo "<div class='blue_text_header'>Information</div>";
  echo "<h1>";
  echo $row['Namn'];
  echo "</h1>";
  echo "<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />";
  echo "<div class='red_text_header'>Obekräftade fall</div>";
  echo " " . $row['unconfirmed'];
  echo "</div>";
  echo "<div class='content_right'>";
  echo "<div class='orange_text_header'>Andra namn</div>";
  echo $row['Alias']; <-------------------------------- REPLACE THIS LINE WITH THE NEW CODE
  echo "<br />";
  echo "<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />";
  echo "<div class='green_text_header'>Bekräftade fall</div>";
  echo " " . $row['confirmed'];
  }

mysql_close($con);

?>
