You are using a literal '\r' in your str_replace() function. This
should instead be replaced with double quotes to translate the \r to
its appropriate EOL character:
htmlspecialchars(nl2br(str_replace(\r,'',$_POST[problem])))
Thanks, I didn't know that single vs double quotes in that instance made a
difference. I've made the change to my code.

In your case, you just want the data sent to you via email and for the new lines to be properly converted into something that resembles what was entered, right?

[PHP] fixing new lines from textarea in an email?
I have staff fill out a form that contains a textarea with their
problem description and emailed to me when they click submit. Staff
will press enter in the text area, but I'm having problems converting
the \r\n into a new line in the email that is sent to me, here is the code:
$subject = new support request #.mysqli_insert_id($mysqli);
$message = Hello, .$_SESSION[full_name]. has created a new support
request. Please log in at a href=\http://intra/helpdesk\;MDAH
Helpdesk/a. The problem request is
\.htmlspecialchars(nl2br(str_replace('\r','',$_POST[problem]))).\.
and the best time to contact is
\.htmlspecialchars($_POST[contact_time]).\.;
$headers = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . \r\n;
$headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . \r\n;
$headers .= From:
.$_SESSION[full_name]..$_SESSION[username].@mdah.state.ms.us
.\r\n .X-Mailer: PHP/ . phpversion();
mail('awill...@mdah.state.ms.us', $subject, $message, $headers);
and here is an example email, notice the \n is still in the body of the
email, and it needs to be converted to a new line in the email:
Hello, Gwendolyn Jones has created a new support request. Please log in
at MDAH Helpdesk http://intra/helpdesk. The problem request is 1 of 2
questions: I'm having trouble opening files from Jennifer, Susie, and
Bill because they are working with a higher version of microsoft office.
My version is 2003. Is there any way I could get an update on this?\n2
of 2 questions: I need permission to download a plug-in for the NPS site
where I research NR properties.\nNeither of these questions/issues are
urgent. Thanks. -Gwen. and the best time to contact is Any time, phone
# is cell.
why isn't nl2br converting the \n to br in the email?

In a cursory glance, I've noticed the following code:
htmlspecialchars(nl2br(str_replace('\r','',$_POST[problem])))
You are using a literal '\r' in your str_replace() function. This
should instead be replaced with double quotes to translate the \r to
its appropriate EOL character:
htmlspecialchars(nl2br(str_replace(\r,'',$_POST[problem])))
