I hate posting this b/c it's a really stupid question. I searched php.net and I've search the forum here.... I think my lack of a solution might be my problem to find the exact terms to search for....

So here's the problem (I'm assuming I'm just missing a text function, actually I know... I just can't remember the name)....

OK..

Form Input Is

hello blah blah blah
blah but, on a new line
more and more blah again a new line

End Form Input

But The Output Is


hello blah blah blah blah but, on a new line more and more blah again a new line


End Output...

OK... Refresh me on the function :D

All you need to do is simply str_replace the new line characters

e.g.

$output = str_replace ("\n", "", $input);
$output = str_replace ("\r", "", $output);

actually,


$output = str_replace ("\n", "<BR>", $input);
$output = str_replace ("\r", "<BR>", $output);


he forgot the br's :-)

Thats the one... Thanks

Check out the nl2br function. The kludge above reminds me of when I wrote number_format myself :)
