Thanks,
I have finally figured out the syntax for nl2br(), which doesn't seem very
clear in the manual.
I used:
$data = nl2br($data);
That returns just what I expect. However, now I have to get rid of the all
the <BR>s that I have inserted into my data while I was trying to figure
this out.
Thanks for the responses.
