It's very hard to develop bug free programs when you CONSTANTLY change the very definitions of basic functions. Agreed, you need to keep up with the standards, but in this case, when you supply a convienience function that is DOCUMENTED to insert '<br>' and in the same make it up to the developer to make a compliant br2nl() (which replaces <br> with "\n"), it just isn't friendly to change the definition! Some of us still use pay-per-minute connections and use the supplied downloadable documentation which isn't updated automatically. At least, pPlease stop supplying downloadable documentation if you can't keep up basic backwards compatibility!!! http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.nl2br.php
