Re: Stripping carriage returns

Strangely, when I use \n, or nl2br(), or PHP_EOL, or anything like that, it strips out not just line breaks, but most of the rest of the text as well. I suspect an encoding issue at this point. Daniel, you were right when you said that neither of my str_replace lines had repl.acement values; that was indeed a typo when I was copying the code over into my email. Ashley, I've already been using strip_tags to eliminate all but <p>, <ol>, <ul>, and <li> tags.
