<br /> code problems...

i have this code:

$newssql=$DB_site->query("SELECT * FROM thread
                          WHERE forumid='$newsforum'
                          ORDER BY dateline DESC LIMIT $newsposts");
while ($news=$DB_site->fetch_array($newssql)) {
  $newsforumid=$news[forumid];
  $newsthreadid=$news[threadid];
  $newstitle=$news[title];
  $newstime=vbdate($timeformat,$news[dateline]);
  $newsdate=vbdate($dateformat,$news[dateline]);
  $newsusername=$news[postusername];
  $newsuserid=$news[postuserid];
  $getnewssql=$DB_site->query_first("SELECT * FROM post
                                     WHERE threadid='$newsthreadid'
                                     ORDER BY postid ASC LIMIT 1");

for some strange reason, when i add html code to a post, it will show some extra wierd <br> codes. example:

<TABLE BORDER=3 CELLSPACING=3 CELLPADDING=3>
[high]<br />

<br />[/high]
<TR>
[high]<br />[/high]
<TD BGCOLOR="#1b4465"ALIGN="center" COLSPAN="3">Table</TD>
[high]<br />[/high]
</TR>
[high]<br />

<br />[/high]
<TR>
[high]<br />[/high]
<TD ALIGN="center">Cell</TD>
[high]<br />[/high]
<TD ALIGN="center">Cell</TD>
[high]<br />[/high]
</TR>
[high]<br />

<br />[/high]
</TABLE>

let me know please where is it comming from this code and how to rectify this problem.
thanks for taking the time to read this post.

it happened to me either
some weird problem with bbcodeparse();
i fixed it like this:

PHP Code:

$newstext=str_replace("<br />","",$newstext);

just a wild guess:

it's probably (\N)s converted to <br /> tag inside bbcodeparse function.

Debugging the problem in this function can help. Or you can remove line breaks (\n) inside your HTML code

[Admin]

Because you type the message like this:

<table>
{NEW LINE}
<tr>
...

All new lines become <br />'s (nl2br() function), so the line breaks actually show up in the HTML document.

A workaround I can think of right now is putting
<!-- HTML START -->
<!-- HTML END -->
Before and after any HTML code in your post, then run some regular expression to remove breaks in that block.

thank you all for the useful info.
