"nl2br" is short for "newline to <br>". If you pass a string of content that contains newline characters (these signal the ending of a line of text) to nl2br(), it will replace those newlines with <br> tags, so that when outputted to the screen, you will see the line breaks. The reason why you "see" the line breaks when contained within the <textarea /> tags is that browsers "honor" newline characters (and other whitespace) when wrapped in <textarea />. This is similar to the <pre /> tags. HTH, John W -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
