PHP Bug Type: Documentation problem
Bug description: Mistakable description of nl2br()
The two sentences in the documentation of nl2br() are contradictory (only the second one is true):
- "Converts newlines to HTML line breaks"
- "Returns string with '<BR>' inserted before all newlines."
In the german version of the manual the description also suggests that the newlines are *replaced*.
May be you think it's a unimportant flaw, but in de.comp.lang.php it is a really frequently
asked question - so please fix it. :-)
