Description:
------------
The name "nl2br" for somebody who doesn't know php very well, suggest that
actually replace "nl" with "br" but is not true. 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)
