Req #51483 [Opn->Sus]: nl2p() function

Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=51483&edit=1 ID: 51483 Updated by: cmb@php.net Reported by: franz at fluxbb dot org Summary: nl2p() function -Status: Open +Status: Suspended Type: Feature/Change Request -Package: Unknown/Other Function +Package: Strings related Operating System: any PHP Version: Irrelevant Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: I don't think that nl2br() actually deserves to be in core PHP, since it can easily be written in userland. Adding yet another string function for a similar purpose is questionable, so it would at least require discussion on the internals mailing list[1], and maybe the RFC process[2]. For the time being, I'm suspending this ticket.

However, these days it is seen as much nicer to wrap paragraphs in <p> tags rather than using <br> to split them up. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=51483&edit=1
