Re: Bug #11611 Updated: nl2br() outputting invalid <br> tags

Shouldn't there be an optional flag to nl2br to change the behavior of function to what it used to be. Just there's no point in <br /> like tags when the rest of your code is just generating HTML compliant output, not XHTML. Ok, somebody can always use something like str_replace("\n", "<br>", $text) to get the old functionality. lenar. <sniper@php.net> wrote in message news:20010622130720.29368.qmail@php2.chek.com... > ID: 11611 > Updated by: sniper > Reported By: nutbar@chemlab.org > Old-Status: Closed > Status: Bogus > Bug Type: Strings related > Operating system: > PHP Version: 4.0.5 > Assigned To: > Comments: > > Could this be even more bogus? :) > > > Previous Comments: > --------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > [2001-06-22 04:39:51] derick@php.net > It's XHTML compliant > > --------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > [2001-06-21 22:13:10] nutbar@chemlab.org > put this into a test php file: > > <?php > $temp = "this isnna testn"; > printf("%s", nl2br($temp)); > ?> > > and you should get this as output from your webserver: > > this is<br /> > <br /> > a test<br /> > > I have confirmed this to be also an issue in the 4.0.6 release candidates, but I do not know > when this all of a sudden became an issue.
