For example, I have:
Lorem Ipsum
Dolor Sir Amet
As the content of $s. Now if I print the result of htmlspecialchars(nl2br($s)) is:
Lorem Ipsum<br />
<br />
Dolor Sir Amet
While the result I want is:
Lorem Ipsum<br /><br /> Dolor Sir Amet
Why the nl2br is not removing the carriage return even though it's already inserting the <br /> ? Or how is the correct usage of nl2br to correctly remove the carriage return? Because this breaks my SQL. I'm running PHP on Apache in Windows 7. Thanks.
to replace all linebreaks to <br /> you should use an extended function,
here it is an example:
<?php
function nl2br2($string) {
$string = str_replace(array("
", "", "
"), "<br />", $string);
return $string;
}
Each OS have different ASCII chars for linebreak:
windows =
unix =
mac =
