Hi there,

I'm trying a new wysiwyg editor... (Wyzz WYSIWYG Editor)

this editor add on my mac a "<br>" at the end of the
text in the text area each time it's saved.

Is there an easy way to remove each "<br>" at the end
from a string (sometimes there are more after saving multiple times)..

The other "<br>" used in the text shoud remain.

You could try to trim() the string before it's being processed.

Otherwise, you could use preg_replace() with the limit parameter.

PHP: preg_replace - Manual

the preg_replace is not working I guess...
because the number of "<br>" is variable..

and I did trim() the string...

on IE there is no problem at all..

If the <br> appears at the end of the string, it should work? If there's one, it'll be replaced, and if not, then nothing is replaced.

PHP Code:

'~(<br\s*/?>)+$~i' 

... (this would remove all <br> tags from the end of the string. Untested but should work)

okay... I'll give this a try.. sorry for the doubt..

what if there are more the one?.. only the last is replaced? or can
I make it a kind of loop the runs untill there is no <br> at the end?.

I edited my post above before I read your reply. I fixed that issue (at least I think I did).

EDIT: I inserted html_entity_decode() to escape the following...


hmzz... as I look into the DB where it's stored the <br> is written as "&lt;br>" can that infect the preg_replace as you gave me above?.
