Subject: [PHP-DEV] Bug #11904: ext/standard/string.c patch for nl2br()
> From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
> Operating system: Linux 2.4.6 Slackware
> PHP version: 4.0.6
> PHP Bug Type: Unknown/Other Function
> Bug description: ext/standard/string.c patch for nl2br()
>
> I suggest the following patch for string.c to fix the
> nl2br() function.
>
> Instead of replacing "\n" with "<br />\n", I think
> "\n<br>" is better. For example, in a string, there might
> be a "\r\n" and when nl2br() is applied, it would become
> "\r<br />\n". Having a "\r" by itself and not paired with
> a "\n" causes problems for me because most programs afaik
> expect either just a "\n" (unix systems) or "\r\n"
> (microsoft systems) and know how to deal with them. But
> when a "\r" is by itself, strange things sometimes happen
> and the file will print corrupted. But applying the patch
> below, "\r\n" would become "\r\n<br>" which keeps the
> carriage return and newline pair intact and adds the
> break... unix and windows programs understand the file
> still and html renderers don't care about formatting.
