Question

So I have some strange issue with nl2br so I have the following code:

var infowindow = new google.maps.InfoWindow({
    content: "<?= nl2br($store["Stores"]["address"]) ?>"
});

the output when viewing the browser source is as shown in this image:

As you can see the <br /> have been correctly introduced but for some reason the line still breaks which causes a javascript error.

The variables values is what has been posted from the text area input of the form

Answer 1

as you can see from the examples in the documentation, this seems to be intended behaviour. if you want to replace all newlines to get the string into one line, a simple regex should do it. this is how i would try (typed out of my head, this isn’t tested):

<?= preg_replace('/(\r\n|\n|\r)/','<br/>',$store["Stores"]["address"]) ?>
