$a = "<br />
      <br />Regards<br />
      admin";

the out put is same as above code and, i want the result following format

<br /><br />Regards<br />admin

That might not work as line breaks might differ in script and local machine. — Roman Newaza, Dec 28 '12 at 08:43

this is about string replace

    $a = "<br />
          <br />Regards<br />
          admin";

    $a = str_replace(PHP_EOL,"",$a);

    var_dump($a);

// Regexp example

$a = preg_replace('/$/','',$a);

PHP_EOL is the correct 'End Of Line' symbol for the platform which is your php running on. – Tufan Barış Yıldırım Dec 28 '12 at 08:51

True, but a doc might have other symbols. – Roman Newaza Dec 28 '12 at 09:00
Delete ALL the newlines! `preg_replace('/[\r\n]+/', '', $foo)` – Charles Dec 28 '12 at 09:09

[`print_r`](http://php.net/print_r) is a debugging tool, not a way to produce output intended for users. – Charles Dec 28 '12 at 09:10

If this is just about prettifying your code, can you just use this?

$a = "<br />".
     "<br />Regards<br />".
     "admin";

I've done that on many occasions. Otherwise, as mentioned by Tufan above, you'll have to do some parsing and replacing of your text.
