Something like this should work…
<?php
// Let's say you have $str as the text, and
// assuming that all line breaks are \r\n and
// not just \n. If not I recommend replacing
// \r\n with \n first and removing all \r's

$new_str = nl2br('<p>'.str_replace($str, '\r\n\r\n', '</p><p>').'</p>');
?>
Untested but that should do what you're looking for.
