RE: [PHP] \n and br
\n is the code to write a new line, between double quotes. Actually it translates to a 0D or 0A code. If there is a 0D or 0A in a text or file (or normal text email) it works as a newline. If you look at the _source_ of your HTML file you will see it too. BR is the HTML code for new line. Browsers understand only BR (well and P and H1-6 also cause a new line), they are taught to ignore the 0A and 0D. If you have a piece of text coming in from a textarea or database, it usually will have the \n type code. To show such texts in a HTML page you have to translate the \n to BR. Because this is so common, PHP has the function nl2br(). If you pronounce this say: NewLine To BReak. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

If that is the case and you would not like the xhtml compliancy, then
just do a str_replace('br /','br',$data); after you do the nl2br,
everything cured :)

I felt so berated by John Nichel yesterday that I felt myself suddenly inclined to only post on-topic and to help enforce the standard across all of the PHP general list. I can retract this behaviour if you wish, but it strikes me as a tad biased that what is good for one, is not good for another. Smells like a veritable double standard. Perhaps I've learned the wrong lesson. This will be the last you'll hear from me on this thread.

Instead, I think you'd have to escape the slash: \\n... but it's
irrelevant, because there's a function that does this for you:
$newstr = nl2br($newstr);
Also, you should try to use str_replace('was', 'is', $str), because it's
less resource intensive than ereg*
