John,
Something came to mind as soon as I sent my last email, and it seems to
work. Not sure it will work in every circumstance but the few tests I tried
seemed ok. This is what I did. I added the two following lines to my script.
$text=str_replace("\n","<br>",$text);
$text=str_replace("<br />","",$text);
Thanks for your input....
