In a cursory glance, I've noticed the following code:
htmlspecialchars(nl2br(str_replace('\r','',$_POST["problem"])))
You are using a literal '\r' in your str_replace() function. This
should instead be replaced with double quotes to translate the \r to
its appropriate EOL character:
htmlspecialchars(nl2br(str_replace("\r",'',$_POST["problem"])))
