note 8575 added to nl2br

I was running into /n problems too. I have forms with textarea (for adresses) that should be inserted into a mysql table. I uses nl2br to manipulate the string before inserting it. It seemed to work fine, I could do a select and the results looked the way they should. But when I looked at the tables from the command prompt (mysql>) they looked UGLY, because there was still the \r command left in the string or whatever. So the only way to solve it was <pre> $text = nl2br(text); $text = ereg_replace("\n", "", $text); $text = ereg_replace("\r", "", $text); </pre> Messy, I know, but it works.
