Question

Seems simple enough but I’m having some issues, I tried using preg_replace:

preg_replace("<br />", "", $string);

But what I get is this <> in place of the <br /> in the string when outputted. The break tags in the string will always be in this format not in any of these:

<br/>
<br>
<BR />
etc.

so what’s the error I’m making?

Answer 1

preg_replace("#<br />#", "", $string);

You needed a delimiter character. # works fine here, since it’s not used in the regex.
