I am having an issue that I cannot figure out. I'm using the nl2br() function to format user entered text stored in the DB as necessary and it has never been an issue. However, for one particular entry it is giving my a problem. If I just echo the data out of the DB it displays fine, however as soon as I add the nl2br I get a huge number of unnecessary BR tags.
Here is the problem area from the data in the DB:
<p> The below table outlines all the ranks available in the WCC. You should view Appendix C to find out the minimum requirements for each, and which sections are currently inactive. </p><table style=\"border: 1px solid #f3a61f; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; width: 90%; border-collapse: collapse; text-align: center;\" border=\"0\">
And the source code when I run it through nl2br:
<p> The below table outlines all the ranks available in the WCC. You should view Appendix C to find out the minimum requirements for each, and which sections are currently inactive. Okay</p><br>
