Are you sure there are newlines before you run strip_tags? It doesn't touch newlines because they aren't html entities. $ cat eg.php <?php $string = "<b>here is a bold tag</b>\n<a href='http://www.example.com/'>Link to example.com</a>\n\n"; echo "Strip tags only:\n"; echo strip_tags($string) . "\n"; echo str_repeat('-', 10) . "\n"; echo "Strip tags & nl2br:\n"; echo nl2br(strip_tags($string)) . "\n"; ?> $ php eg.php Strip tags only: here is a bold tag Link to example.com ---------- Strip tags & nl2br: here is a bold tag<br /> Link to example.com<br /> <br /> -- Postgresql & php tutorials http://www.designmagick.com/ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
