depending on what OS is running on your server, you have to have "\n" instead (*NIX servers), but just to be safe, your best bet is to use "\r\n" for all your carriage returns:

[code]
$String = preg_replace('|;|', ";\r\n", $String);
[/code]

i believe it also makes a difference that you use double quotes for the replacement so the escape characters are actually recognized.
