From: valentiny510 at yahoo dot es Operating system: PHP version: Irrelevant Package: *General Issues Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Bug description:Add third parameter to nl2br
Description: ------------ The name "nl2br" for somebody who doesn't know php very well, suggest that actually replace "nl" with "br" but is not true. The name of the function function should be "nl2nl+br" I think it should have a third parameter like $replace, and actually Replace the nl with br I have some clients who used this function inside pre with horrible result. Anyway, I think it will be more usefull this nl2br ($string, true/false, $replace = true/false) than preg_replace('#([\r?\n]+)#', '<br>', $string) or str_replace(array("\r\n", "\r", "\n"), '<br>', $string) -- Edit bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=64639&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.4): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64639&r=trysnapshot54 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64639&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (trunk): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64639&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64639&r=fixed Fixed in release: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64639&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64639&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64639&r=needscript Try newer version: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64639&r=oldversion Not developer issue: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64639&r=support Expected behavior: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64639&r=notwrong Not enough info: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64639&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64639&r=submittedtwice register_globals: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64639&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64639&r=php4 Daylight Savings: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64639&r=dst IIS Stability: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64639&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64639&r=gnused Floating point limitations: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64639&r=float No Zend Extensions: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64639&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64639&r=mysqlcfg
