I am new to PHP and while working on a project I face a problem.
I have the following string Mango, Orange, Banana
Now I tried using str_replace(',', '<br/>',$string) to replace the coma with the html tag <br> but I get this result Mango<br/> Orange<br/> Banana instead of
Mango
Orange
Banana
How can I solve this problem please?
分享 The solution depends on where are you going to display the results.
In HTML page: then you should use the appropriate HTML markup around <br> tags. This will tell browser to apply the default styles to your text (margins, line-breaks, etc).
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head></head>
<body>
<?php echo str_replace(',', '<br>', 'Mango, Orange, Banana'); ?>
</body>
</html>
Anywhere else: then you should use the line break symbol. Different systems uses different symbols for line-break, but hopefully PHP has the pre-defined constant PHP_EOL, that contains the line-break symbol.
<?php
echo str_replace(',', PHP_EOL, 'Mango, Orange, Banana');
?>
