note 16178 added to function.nl2br

If you want to avoid the paragraph problem when a user enters data in a text box, use the following line of code: $txt = preg_replace("/(\015\012)|(\015)|(\012)/","&nbsp;<br />", $txt); it replaces \n (or \r for that matter) with a non-breaking-space and a <br>, which will result in exactly the same text as entered in the text box.
