At the risk of going a bit off topic, you may wish to look at PHP's built-in strip_tags function
http://uk2.php.net/manual/en/function.strip-tags.php
$plBody = strip_tags($plBody, '<br>');
But you'll still need to convert plain <br> to <br /> after that, but you can use the slightly quicker str_replace function then
$plBody = str_replace('<br>','<br />',$plBody);At least this saves you one step without getting any bad disco memories involved...
