有换行符的FILTER_SANITIZE_SPECIAL_CHARS问题

Does anybody know how to prevent FILTER_SANITIZE_SPECIAL_CHARS from converting the line breaks ( ) into ( &#10 ; ).

I'm developing a simple commenting system for my website and I found that the php filter converts to so when using nl2br() there are no line breaks.

help please.

thanks :)

filter_var with the FILTER_SANITIZE_SPECIAL_CHARS option is doing what it is supposed to do:

HTML-escape '"<>& and characters with ASCII value less than 32, optionally strip or encode other special characters.

The newline character () has an ASCII value of less than 32, so will be converted to 
. You could therefore use html_entity_decode to convert them back to their original characters:

$string = "line 1
line 2";
$filtered = filter_var($string, FILTER_SANITIZE_SPECIAL_CHARS);
echo "$filtered
";
echo(html_entity_decode($filtered));

Outputs:

line 1&#10;line 2
line 1
line 2

But I guess that defeats the object of using FILTER_SANITIZE_SPECIAL_CHARS in the first place.

If it is only the newline that is causing the problem, you could replace the HTML character entity (
) with a newline character, before using nl2br():

echo str_replace('&#10;', "
", $filtered);

Outputs:

line 1
line 2

Or perhaps even better, skip the middle step, and replace the HTML character entity (
) with <br />:

echo str_replace('&#10;', '<br />', $filtered);

Outputs:

line 1<br />line 2

...but I'm not 100% sure what it is you are trying to do.
