| You could just do a simple string replace: PHP Code: $description = str_replace('<br><br>', '<br>', $description)

| You could use a loop, but I prefer this. It works for <br /> too. (hopefully  ) PHP Code: $description = preg_replace('/(<br ?\/?>)(<br ?\/?>)+/i', '$1', $description);
A \s* in between the brackets may also help: PHP Code: $description = preg_replace('/(<br ?\/?>)\s*(<br ?\/?>)+/i', '$1', $description);
Or even... PHP Code: $description = preg_replace('/(<br ?\/?>)\s*(<br ?\/?>\s*)+/im', '$1', $description);
