Name

nl2br()

Synopsis

    string nl2br ( string str )

The nl2br function inserts a HTML line break (<br />) before all new line characters. You should note that it does not replace the line breaks—the \n breaks are left intact. For example:

    $mystr = "This is a test\nYes it is.";
    $brstr = nl2br($mystr);
    // set to "This is a test<br />\nYes it is."
