From: mmiikkee13 at gmail dot com Operating system: Linux PHP version: 5.2.5 PHP Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Bug description: nl2br should have option for generating HTML instead of XHTML
Description: ------------ nl2br should include an optional argument to make it generate HTML instead of XHTML. Not every site uses XHTML, and PHP doesn't usually seem like an XHTML-specific language to me - heck, it can even echo out C code if you were that crazy. (No offense to anyone who's actually tried that.) XHTML could still be the default, but the function should be changed to something like nl2br($text, $xhtml=FALSE). While <br /> may only generate a warning in the W3C validator, it recommends only using it in XHTML documents, not HTML. Besides that, people view pages with browsers, not hyperactive validators. -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=44795&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44795&r=trysnapshot52 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44795&r=trysnapshot53 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44795&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44795&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44795&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44795&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44795&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44795&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44795&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44795&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44795&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44795&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44795&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44795&r=php4 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44795&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44795&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44795&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44795&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44795&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44795&r=mysqlcfg
