The name of the function function should be "nl2nl+br" I think it should have a third parameter like $replace, and actually Replace the nl with br I have some clients who used this function inside pre with horrible result. Anyway, I think it will be more usefull this nl2br ($string, true/false, $replace = true/false) than preg_replace('#([\r?\n]+)#', '<br>', $string) or str_replace(array("\r\n", "\r", "\n"), '<br>', $string) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=64639&edit=1
