note 57815 added to function.nl2br

The term nl2br (new line 'to' <br />) could be somewhat confusing. I just tested the nl2br with the folowing function on some data pulled out of a database. <?php function parse_str($str) { $str = nl2br($str); $str = str_replace("\\r", '\\r', $str); $str = str_replace("\\n", '\\n', $str); echo $str; } ?> This is is what the str function parsed to the browser : This is some \\r\\nSample Text \\r\\nTo see what nl2br \\r\\nDoes with \\r\\nReturns \\r\\nAnd \\r\\nNew lines It seems that the nl2br funtion just adds a <br /> in front of the \r\n caracters in sted of replacing them. Hopes it helpes solving some probs you might have.
