How to replace \r\n \n or \r with </p><p>

[horseatingweeds]

I'm taking some text from a textarea input and putting it into an html email. I'd like to translate any line breaks into new paragraphs. Anyone know a good way to do this?

 

I'm thinking str_replace() but there is the problem of different OP making different line break characters.

This is what I done in my email script:

 

str_replace("\n\r", "<br><br>", $content); //Replace \n\r
str_replace("\n", "<br><br>", $content); //Replace single \n
str_replace("\r", "<br><br>", $content); //Replace single \r

That seems simple enough. If fixes one of my worries by replacing \n\r first. Thanks.

Use preg_replace, it is more efficient than str_replace

 

preg_replace("\r\n", "<br><br>", $content);

str_replace() can also take an array.

 

$crap = array("\r\n", "\n\r", "\n","\r");
$new = str_replace($crap, "<br><br>", $content); //Replace everything smartly
