Schlo_50 Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 I have a text area where large amounts of text can be added but when ever a carriage return occurs the new line isn't echoed properly, im trying to use str_replace to replcace \n for <br /> but the <br /> will not add to my home.txt file. <?php if ($_POST['Submit12'] == "Submit") { $file_name = "home.txt"; $open_file = fopen($file_name, "a+"); $file_contents= $_POST['title'] . '|' . $_POST['news'] ."\n"; $replace = str_replace("\n", "<br />", $file_contents); fwrite($open_file, $file_contents); fclose($open_file); echo "<meta http-equiv=\"refresh\" content=\"0;URL=homepagetry.php\">"; echo "Form data successfully written to file"; } ?> Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/53602-str_replace-help/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

kenrbnsn Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 Did you read the manual page for the function nl2br()? You pass it one parameter which is the string containing the newline characters. It will insert the string "<br />" before each newline character and return the modified string.
