I am trying to replace </p> with <br /> in specific content. I am using the following code :

<?php echo preg_replace('</p>', '<br />', $articlesRecord['content']); ?>

It works in that is puts the correct spacing in but adds the < > into the content. See attached screenshot.

Can you help me figure what I am missing or doing wrong?

Thanks!

My suggestion ;-)

<?php echo string_ireplace( '</p>', '<br />', $articlesRecord['content']); ?>

That should work you need to show a before and after to give me a little bit if a hint.

Thanks so much!

Hi,

The issue is just a typo in the code.   The function name is str_ireplace().  The only issue I can see with this, is that it will leave a lot of open <p> tags in your HTML, to strip those out as well, give this a try:

<p><?php echo str_replace("</p>", "<br/>", str_replace("<p>", "", $articlesRecord['content']));?></p>

Hope this helps
