Finding line breaks in HTML?

@robahasFeb 14.2012

Hi I’m using str_replace() to remove some text and html code from a string. How do I match a line break in the html code? It literally looks like this in the html:

Schedules are subject to change without notice. For most up to date information, please log into our Online Booking System to search for flights required and availability.

I can’t match the second , presumably because I need to include a line break in my “needle”. I’ve tried a bunch of things and can’t get a result. Thanks in advance.

Have you tried using preg_replace() function?

@robahasauthorFeb 14.2012 — #Here's with preg_replace(). I also tried n btw. As is here, it works. But if I add a second (which is on a separate line in the html), no luck. My $remotecontent variable contains a section of html read from another website.

[code=php]$remotecontent = preg_replace( "/r/", "", $remotecontent);
 $remotecontent = str_replace("For most up to date information, please log into our Online Booking System to search for flights required and availability.<br />", "" , $remotecontent);
 echo $remotecontent;[/code]

@robahasauthorFeb 14.2012 — #I figured out one problem and went on to another one... So the tags got reduced to when loaded to the variable. Now I can find them. My next odd thing is I search for a string ending in and everything but the ending breack tags is replaced (I need to get rid of the space these create). Here is the code:

[code=php]$remotecontent = preg_replace( "/n/", "", $remotecontent);
 $remotecontent = str_replace("For most up to date information, please log into our Online Booking System to search for flights required and availability.<br/><br/><br/><br/>", "" , $remotecontent);
 echo $remotecontent;[/code]

It runs fine and the relevant text is deleted, but the four breaks still show up in the output! I don't get it.

Thanks
