I am trying to post the value of a textarea from one page to another, using a standard form post to send it and the $_POST[] to retrieve it, then set a new textarea with that value. It works fine except that for every instance of a newline, it will show up as a "br /", and I would rather have nothing show up at all, just the newline. I am using "str_replace("br /", "", $Message)" to get rid of it, but that does not seem to do anything for some reason. Is there any other way around this? (imagine the "br /"'s have brackets on them) -Chris
