Problems without displaying content in a textarea per line

I would like to retrieve the content of a textarea per line. So the user entered one link per line in that area.

Here is my code:

$links_in_textarea = get_field('links_in_textarea');

$link_trim = trim($links_in_textarea);
$link_single = explode("\n", $link_trim);
$link_single = array_filter($link_single, 'trim');

// displaying links in a list
for ($i=0; $i<=count($link_single); $i++) {
    echo "<li><a href='http://$link_single[$i]'>List Item</li>";
}

My problem: When I click on a list item, the link comes with the following additional string:

%3Cbr%20/>

Anyone can see the reason for this? How do I need to modify the code above so that I can retrieve the link WITHOUT this additional string?

That's a <br> which is url encoded. You can eliminate it with a simple string_replace. This could look like this:

$links_in_textarea = str_replace('<br/>', '', $links_in_textarea);

Sorry, I can't comment on your answer (don't have enough reputation) : I'd suggest you run this piece of code, which is quite similar :

$links_in_textarea = str_replace(array('<br>', '<br />', '<br/>'), '', $links_in_textarea);

Feel free to read PHP's documentation about that : https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.str-replace.php#example-4915

You can use strip_tags to remove any html tags from it. So you will have string without any html tags.
