I used 

 <br>

in textarea to write some articles in backend, the output came exactly what i expected on webpage.I used 3rd party apps to share the article description to mobiles and in social netowrking. While sharing the article description the br> tags are seen in the 3rd party apps.

How to remove the
tags from the article description ?

<?php echo ($rows['description']); ?>

I used the below method which removes the
tag but it also removes the line breaks in the artile. How to remove the

<?php
$value=$rows['description'];
$sendarticle= preg_replace('/[\<br>]/', '', $value);
?>

strip_tags($str)

function to replace all NULL-Bytes, PHP-Tags and HTML-tags from $str.
