nl2br — Insere quebras de linha HTML antes de todos os caracteres de nova linha em um string
Retorna a string com <br /> ou
<br> inseridos antes de todas os caracteres de nova linha (\r\n,
\n\r, \n e \r).
stringA string de entrada.
use_xhtmlInforma se devem ser usadas quebras de linha compatíveis com XHTML ou não.
Retorna a string modificada.
Exemplo #1 Usando nl2br()
<?php
echo nl2br("isto não é\n aquilo");
?>O exemplo acima produzirá:
isto não é<br /> aquilo
Exemplo #2 Grando marcação HTML válida usando o parâmetro use_xhtml
<?php
echo nl2br("Bem-vindo\r\nEste é meu documento HTML", false);
?>O exemplo acima produzirá:
Bem-vindo<br> Este é meu documento HTML
Exemplo #3 Vários separadores de linha
<?php
$string = "Isto\r\né\n\ruma\nstring\r";
echo nl2br($string);
?>O exemplo acima produzirá:
Isto<br /> é<br /> uma<br /> string<br />
It's important to remember that this function does NOT replace newlines with <br> tags. Rather, it inserts a <br> tag before each newline, but it still preserves the newlines themselves! This caused problems for me regarding a function I was writing -- I forgot the newlines were still being preserved.
If you don't want newlines, do:
<?php
$Result = str_replace( "\n", '<br />', $Text );
?>to replace all linebreaks to <br />
the best solution (IMO) is:
<?php
function nl2br2($string) {
$string = str_replace(array("\r\n", "\r", "\n"), "<br />", $string);
return $string;
}
?>
because each OS have different ASCII chars for linebreak:
windows = \r\n
unix = \n
mac = \r
works perfect for meHere's a more simple one:
<?php
/**
* Convert BR tags to nl
*
* @param string The string to convert
* @return string The converted string
*/
function br2nl($string)
{
return preg_replace('/\<br(\s*)?\/?\>/i', "\n", $string);
}
?>
EnjoyStarting from PHP 4.3.10 and PHP 5.0.2, this should be the most correct way to replace <br /> and <br> tags with newlines and carriage returns.
<?php
/**
* Convert BR tags to newlines and carriage returns.
*
* @param string The string to convert
* @return string The converted string
*/
function br2nl ( $string )
{
return preg_replace('/\<br(\s*)?\/?\>/i', PHP_EOL, $string);
}
?>
(Please note this is a minor edit of this function: http://php.net/nl2br#86678 )
You might also want to be "platform specific", and therefore this function might be of some help:
<?php
/**
* Convert BR tags to newlines and carriage returns.
*
* @param string The string to convert
* @param string The string to use as line separator
* @return string The converted string
*/
function br2nl ( $string, $separator = PHP_EOL )
{
$separator = in_array($separator, array("\n", "\r", "\r\n", "\n\r", chr(30), chr(155), PHP_EOL)) ? $separator : PHP_EOL; // Checks if provided $separator is valid.
return preg_replace('/\<br(\s*)?\/?\>/i', $separator, $string);
}
?>double quotes !== single quotes
php > echo nl2br('\r\n');
\r\n
php > echo nl2br("\r\n");
<br />Seeing all these suggestions on a br2nl function, I can also see that neither would work with a sloppy written html line break.. Users can't be trusted to write good code, we know that, and mixing case isn't too uncommon.
I think this little snippet would do most tricks, both XHTML style and HTML, even mixed case like <Br> <bR /> and even <br > or <br />.
<?php
function br2nl($text)
{
return preg_replace('/<br\\s*?\/??>/i', '', $text);
}
?>
