[SOLVED] annoying extra line break

[shadiadiph]

hi i have been trying to $_GET a message string which has to be formatted nl2br inorder for it to keep its format but when i display it for the second time it keeps displaying as if it has an extra line break between each line break can any one think of a fix for this thanks.

 

$message = $_GET["mesid"];
$message = rawurldecode($message);
$message = stripslashes($message);
$message = preg_replace('/<br( )?(\/)?>/i', "\n", $message);

$message = $_GET["mesid"];
$message = rawurldecode($message);
$message = stripslashes($message);
$message = preg_replace('/<br( )?(\/)?>/i', "", $message);
