Different OSes handle newlines different and nl2br does it 1 way. http://us3.php.net/manual/en/function.nl2br.php And converting with nl2br supposedly takes up more CPU.

In some cases, it's better to convert before injection since disk space is more abundent than CPU cycles. -- --Matthew Sims --<http://killermookie.org>
