How to remove two consecutive tags?

Question

PHP

It is not possible to delete two consecutive tags
, perhaps because the tags are on different lines.
The text from which I am trying to delete:

Understood, the code worked: If there is another solution, it will be interesting to know.

$text= str_replace("<br><br>", "<br>", $text);
