And it adds $num blanks to the front of the next line. <?php function nl2brnl($text, $num) { return preg_replace("/\\r\\n|\\n|\\r/", sprintf("% -".(5+$num)."s","<BR>\\n"), $text); } $a = " one\\n two\\r\\n three"; $b = nl2brnl($a, 2); var_dump($b); /* output will be: string(30) " one<BR> two<BR> three" */ echo " <P>\\n "; echo $b /* output will be: <P> one<BR> two<BR> three */ ?> Is helpfull for avouding code_soup. ---- Server IP: 217.160.72.57 Probable Submitter: 217.224.134.127 ---- X-Spam-Status: No, hits=3.3 required=5.0 tests=DATE_MISSING,FROM_NO_LOWER, HTML_MESSAGE autolearn=no version=2.64 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.sprintf.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/68841 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/68841/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/68841/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/68841/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/68841/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/68841/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/68841/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/68841 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/68841 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
