Re: <br> appear in Text file

If you're getting a literal "<br>" in the file then I'd have to say you're either typing one in the text box or have your HTML putting on in there for you w/out knowing it. If it's a new line or a carriage return in the file that's a different matter. When somebody submits data to you in a <textarea> or <input type="text"> field their newline character will match that of their OS. For a Win32 computer this is a two character combination, a carraige return (ASCII #13) and a line feed (ASCII #10). For a Unix/Linux machine it's just a line feed (ASCII #10), and for a Mac computer you get just a carriage return (ASCII #13). Given that I store my data on Unix/Linux machines, no matter what language I'm using, I change all 13,10 combinations into just a 10, then all 13's into a 10, which gives me my Unix/Linux like behavior. If you don't want to store any newlines then just change all 10's at that point into nothings (or a space). FYI, a newline (10) is often represented as \n and a carriage return (13) as \r. Hope that helps.
