Note Submitter: mike at openconcept dot ca ---- There are other nl2p examples above, but think this one will provide nicer html. Also threw in a very related br2p function for all of those folks who want to strip away the <br /> tags which give their designers the blues. /** * replacement for php's nl2br tag that produces more designer friendly html * * Modified from: http://www.php-editors.com/contest/1/51-read.html * * @param string $text * @param string $cssClass * @return string */ function nl2p($text, $cssClass=''){ // Return if there are no line breaks. if (!strstr($text, "\n")) { return $text; } // Add Optional css class if (!empty($cssClass)) { $cssClass = ' class="' . $cssClass . '" '; } // put all text into <p> tags $text = '<p' . $cssClass . '>' . $text . '</p>'; // replace all newline characters with paragraph // ending and starting tags $text = str_replace("\n", "</p>\n<p" . $cssClass . '>', $text); // remove empty paragraph tags & any cariage return characters $text = str_replace(array('<p' . $cssClass . '></p>', '<p></p>', "\r"), '', $text); return $text; } // end nl2p /** * expanding on the nl2p tag above to convert user contributed * <br />'s to <p>'s so it displays more nicely. * * @param string $text * @param string $cssClass * @return string */ function br2p($text, $cssClass=''){ if (!eregi('<br', $text)) { return $text; } if (!empty($cssClass)) { $cssClass = ' class="' . $cssClass . '" '; } // put all text into <p> tags $text = '<p' . $cssClass . '>' . $text . '</p>'; // replace all break tags with paragraph // ending and starting tags $text = str_replace(array('<br>', '<br />', '<BR>', '<BR />'), "</p>\n<p" . $cssClass . '>', $text); // remove empty paragraph tags $text = str_replace(array('<p' . $cssClass . '></p>', '<p></p>', "<p>\n</p>"), '', $text); return $text; } This is all code from Back-End CMS (http://www.back-end.org), a template based gpl php/mysql cms. Mike
