PHP form inserting at the end of the text on each submission to MSSQL

Question

Hi everyone I had previously posted about a
getting inserted at the beginning of my text and we got that fixed. (here is my previous post with the code)

Answer 1

This should do it, matches
,
or
at the start or end:

preg_replace('#^|$#i', "\n", $str);

The tag is matched by: * Literal * Optional spaces followed by a forward slash

The | in the middle is used to denote an alternative condition (i.e. OR).

Edit

Instead of you can also write that you had before.

Edit 2

Multiple occurrences can be matched by just adding + behind each pattern:

preg_replace('#^+|+$#i', "\n", $str);
