[Need help with str_replace]

I guess this si the code you're using to convert [br] tp <br>?
[code]$SUMMARY = str_replace('[','<',$data['SUMMARY']);
$SUMMARY = str_replace(']','>',$data['SUMMARY']);[/code]
If so change it to:
[code]$SUMMARY = str_replace("[br]", "<br />", $data['SUMMARY']);[/code]
Also why are you using [br] why not just hit enter to add a new line in your textarea, then use nl2br when you retrieve the data out of the database instead? Makes life so much easier.
