note 15422 added to function.nl2br

Hmm, seems that this page can't doesn't convert tags - how ironnic! :) Anyway, just to be a bit constructive ;) here's a (system independent) way to replace linebreaks with html-linebreaks: $text = ereg_replace("(\r?\n|\r)", "<br>", $text); (the second argument should be &lt;br%gt; in case it doesn't show right). If you want the old effect of nl2br(), just insert "\n" after the br-tag... http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.nl2br.php
