I'm afraid I do.  Given my code

      $fin = stripslashes(${base64_encode($k)}) ;       ###
      print "\$fin is .$fin.<BR>\n";    ###
      $fout = ereg_replace("\n","<br>",$fin) ;
      print "and \$fout is .$fout.<BR>\n";      ###

(ignore the scary base64 stuff :-) I get

  $fin is .This is the first line. Here is the second line..
  and $fout is .This is the first line. 
  Here is the second line..

in my browser and

  $fin is .This is the first line.
  Here is the second line..<BR>
  and $fout is .This is the first line.
  <br>Here is the second line..<BR>
  <br><br>

in my browser's source window.  The newlines are still there.

Any thoughts?
