Thanks but been there done that,

Biggest problem is if there are say six 's, ideally it should be cut down to two str_replace("\n","",$theinput);

I have to do several combinations, , \n, \n\r etc

Something I'm thinking of trying is to strip all double spaces out " " and adding a \n after a full stop. Down side is if the full stop isn't used it wont work as intended also if a measurment is used, ie. 12.5 mm

well why don't you try doing nl2br() first, and then searching for the 's...see if that works, just to see if your logic is correct.

Thanks but I'm not "html-ifiying" it, comes from a form into a database, but need to strip spaces etc before going in, then when displayed am using nl2br()

Well....if you're html-ifiying this...it could turn out that your input is:

This&nbsp;old&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;dog<br />
has<br />
<br />
<br />
fleas

So in that instance, you would want to search for the HTML components, and not the PHP line break or blank space.
