for the <pre> tag problem, the reason why nl2br does that is because it converts all \n to <br />\n (see the extra \n there) an easy hack is to use strtr to replace all \n with just <br /> eg. <?php function mynl2br($text) { return strtr($text, array("\r\n" => '<br />', "\r" => '<br />', "\n" => '<br />')); } ?> very simple and very fast. the only disadvantage is that anyone reading your nl2br'd html will see it all on one line. --was-- for the <pre> tag problem, the reason why nl2br does that is because it converts all \n to <br />\n (see the extra \n there) an easy hack is to use strtr to replace all \n with just <br /> eg. <?php function mynl2br($text) { strtr($text, array("\n" => '<br />', "\r\n" =>'<br />')); } ?> very simple and very fast. the only disadvantage is that anyone reading your nl2br'd html will see it all on one line. http://php.net/manual/en/function.nl2br.php
