Re: ereg_replace help

I'm not actually replacing \n with <br>, I just used that as an example. When I tried Martin's solution, I got a parse error on this line: $content = implode($lines, "\n",); I checked the manual and it's constructed properly .. I think. What could be giving me the parse error on this line. The previous line reads: $lines = file("log.txt"); Thanks, John --- Mike Frazer <mike@invertedmind.com> wrote: > nl2br() would serve that purpose as well.
