Note Submitter: steveua at yahoo dot com ---- In reference to s_vunckx@hotmail.com's problem -- I gather that you are experiencing the < br /> multiplying effect when modifying content that has previously passed through a nl2br(). Just use a strip_tags() on the variable/text that you are attempting to modify, before it reaches the browser form field in which it will display. This will remove all <br /> tags prior to viewing in the browser form field (however, corresponding newlines and returns will still be there). Then, simply pass the same var through another nl2br() prior to sending the var back to your database or textfile.
