RE: [PHP-DEV] Bug #11075: bad operation of nl2br function
Ok, I've seen this bug reported too many times to sit idly by. :) The br / has the / so that the html is XHTML compliant. (if memory serves) My question -- is this breaking anything for anyone? Is br / in any way detrimental to browsers anywhere?

RE: [PHP-DEV] Bug #11075: bad operation of nl2br function
It would be a poor browser design which differentiated between br and br /. I've just tested with old versions of netscape (4.0 series) and a friend is digging up some 2.* and 3.* style browsers just to verify.

Re: [PHP-DEV] Bug #11075: bad operation of nl2br function
No, this does not break existing browsers. The problem is that nl2br has been around for a long time. Once you understand what nl2br does, you never need to view the function's documenation again. All the sudden, someone sees the br / output, they think bug! and report it. They never think to view the documentation again since it's such a trivial function. Personally, I think people should pay more attention to web standards... if they did, they would know it's XHTML.
