ID: 9408 Updated by: torben Reported By: j-f@gmx.net Old-Status: Open Status: Closed Bug Type: Documentation problem Assigned To: Comments: Thanks for the report; fixed in CVS. Cheers, Torben Previous Comments: --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [2001-02-22 15:01:11] j-f@gmx.net 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. :-) --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ATTENTION!
