I'm not actually replacing \n with <br>, I just used
that as an example. When I tried Martin's solution, I
got a parse error on this line:
$content = implode($lines, "\n",);
I checked the manual and it's constructed properly ..
I think. What could be giving me the parse error on
this line. The previous line reads:
$lines = file("log.txt");
Thanks,
John
