I have a form box where users enter in directions (one per line). I then turn each line into a list item <li>. The problem is that when people enter a blank line at the end it creates a new list item.

So I tried the following preg_replace to strip out extra lines at the end of the string. It doesn't work.

$directions = preg_replace('/\r+$/','',$_POST['directions']);

I also tried \n instead of \r.
