For my own curiousity: nl2br()

[suttercain]

I understand this:

 

<?php
$string = "John Doe \n Mary Doe \n Steven Doe \n";

echo $string; // echoes John Doe Mary Doe Steven Doe
echo nl2br($string); echoes John Doe
                                      Mary Doe
                                      Steven Doe
?>

 

My question is this:

Is it possible to have the results looks as they did in echo nl2br($string); without using the nl2br or the <br> tag?

 

 

Just curious.

str_replace("\n","<br />", str_replace("\r","<br /",str_replace("\n\r", "<br /",$string)));

 

Remember the changing of order is going to change functionallity. in anycase you shouldnt use \n\r outside.

 

Thanks

pre tags?

[suttercain]

pre tags?

 

For some reason it took out the break tag < br >

[effigy]

I don't follow...

 

<pre>
<?php
echo $string = "John Doe \n Mary Doe \n Steven Doe \n";
?>
</pre>

 

Yields:

John Doe

Mary Doe

Steven Doe
