Using regex to remove empty paragraph tags <p> </p> (standard str_replace on “space” not working)

问题


TinyMCE creates empty paragraph tags when you hit enter twice. like:

<p> </p>

Which is <p>SPACE</p>

In FireBug it calls this space a "&nbsp;" but the html code/DB backend just shows a space. When I do "str_replace('<p> </p>'....." it doesnt find the block... basically I think the "space" is somehow not a standard space and some sort of borked encoded space. Is there a regex I can run that will remove this tag? I've been stuck on this for hours... or even something like

regex('<p>LESS THAN THREE CHARS</p>'...)

would probably work

Thank you

I would use:

$str = preg_replace('~<p>\s*<\/p>~i','',$str);

where \s signifies a white space of any kind (tab, space, etc.) and * indicates 0 or more occurence of this (space). So <p></p>, <p> </p>, <p>{multiple spaces here}</p> will all be replaced by an empty string. The additional i flag is for case-insensitivity, just in case <p>'s might instead be <P>'s.




回答2:


$text = preg_replace('#<p>&nbsp;</p>#i','<p></p>', $text);

worked for me, as the variable contains the actual string "&nbsp;" and not the non-breaking space unicode character. Thus neither #<p>.</p>#i worked nor copying the non-breaking-space character from character map.




回答3:


The answers above won't work if <p> tag has any inline attributes, such as <p style="font-weight:bold">.

Here is a regex to catch it:

#<p[^>]*>(\s|&nbsp;|</?\s?br\s?/?>)*</?p>#

None of the given answers were working for me, but here's what did:

$str = str_replace('&lt;p&gt;&nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;', '', $str);

Definitely not the most correct way to do things. But if you're working with (against) TinyMCE, specifically inside of SuiteCRM, this should help.

Try this

$string="a bunch of text with <p> </p> in it";

$string=str_replace("/<p> <\/p>/","",$string);

Note a couple things: the forward slashes before and after the string to match, as well as the escaping backslash before the forward slash in the second paragraph tag.
