In the CMS system I am using it does an auto <br /> tag at the end of each line if you hit the enter key. I know very little about php so I am not finding what is cauing this.

Example:

If I typed this in the content box.



And did a few enter strokes in the HTML of the page I'll see the <br /> tag for each enter stroke. So the above would look like.
<br />
<br />
<br />
instead of



A friend suggested the preg_replace command and I do see a few of them, but they all seem to be related to the images instead of html text.

If you do not understand what I am trying to say, please let me know I am not good at explaining things. If you would have any clues on what could cause this, I would be most thankful for your help!!!!

I do understand adding the <br /> at the line end for the enter key is usually a nice thing if you like it, but when you try to build a table and each line end has a <br /> it messes up tables.

php has a function nl2br() that will have this effect. Try hunting for those.

It is worth pointing out that most browsers ignore repeated <br> tags -- you'll end up with just one effective break.

I don't think so. You must be thinking of repeating spaces/newlines, with HTML not caring about whitespace. For example:





Each of the above is a single line break. And this line has 20 or so leading spaces, but you don't see them.

I stand corrected -- I was thinking newlines. Thanks, Chroder.
