$end_string = implode('<br>', $arr);

Perfect, did the job nicely.... Thanks - I thought I was nearly there, it's been a long day, so thanks for your quick response.

Thanks for points but I was sure you would choose rjohnsonjr solutions: simpler, quicker and definitely more intelligent. My solution is intricate without reason. Please, consider to request attention to the moderator using the link immediately below the question box and award points to rjohnsonjr: he deserves points and future members could find my bad solution instead of the good one :-)

I would choose the str_replace() method also.
