If you're getting a literal "<br>" in the file then I'd have to say you're
either typing one in the text box or have your HTML putting on in there
for you w/out knowing it.
If it's a new line or a carriage return in the file that's a different
matter. When somebody submits data to you in a <textarea> or <input
type="text"> field their newline character will match that of their OS.
For a Win32 computer this is a two character combination, a carraige
return (ASCII #13) and a line feed (ASCII #10). For a Unix/Linux machine
it's just a line feed (ASCII #10), and for a Mac computer you get just a
carriage return (ASCII #13).
Given that I store my data on Unix/Linux machines, no matter what language
I'm using, I change all 13,10 combinations into just a 10, then all 13's
into a 10, which gives me my Unix/Linux like behavior. If you don't want
to store any newlines then just change all 10's at that point into
nothings (or a space).
FYI, a newline (10) is often represented as \n and a carriage return (13)
as \r.
Hope that helps.
