What about trying str_replace(PHP_EOL, "", $content); -- João Cândido de Souza Neto ""Richard S. Crawford"" <richard@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> escreveu na mensagem news:AANLkTimzFk+ku6DKvJMhekbsYcuosn2Tv+0TxFsN9H+S@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx I'm retrieving CLOB data from an Oracle database, and cleaning up the HTML in it. I'm using the following commands: $content = strip_tags($description->fields['CONTENT'],'<p><ol><ul><li>'); $content = preg_replace("/<p.*>/","<p>",$content); The second line is necessary because the <p> tag frequently comes with class or style descriptions that must be eliminated. This works on the whole except where the <p> tag with the style definition is broken up over two or more lines. In other words, something like: <p class = "bullettext" style = "line-height: normal border: 3;"> In this case, the second line of my code does not strip the class or style definitions from the paragraph tag. I've tried: $content = nl2br($content) and $content = str_replace(chr(13),$content) and $content = preg_replace("/[".chr(10)."|".chr(13)."]/","",$content) (I've read that Oracle uses chr(10) or chr(13) to represent line breaks internally, so I decided to give those a try as well.) and $content = str_replace(array('\n','\r','\r\n'),$content) all to no avail; these all leave the line break intact, which means my preg_replace('/<p.*>/','<p>',$content) line still breaks. Anyone have any ideas? -- Sláinte, Richard S.
