Actually, I forgot to also mention that the browser is changing the
control-M (^M) from the query when it sets the default value for the
textarea to "<br />".  I guess that is the HTML representation of the
^M.

you are using nl2br() on the input, that funcion adds '<br />' before all newline characters.



I'm currently using:

	$_POST[$field] = str_replace("\r\n", "\n", $_POST[$field]);
	$_POST[$field] = strip_tags($_POST[$field], '<br />');

in a foreach loop for all the $_POST vars, but it's still not removing
it.

I know I'm missing something, but I can't seem to find it or figure it

list archives, but I can't seem to find the right way to remove
control-M from a form submission page with textarea fields.

I have a series of "textarea" fields that can/and do contain the dreaded
^M characters.  For the life of me, I can't figure out how to remove
them before I save them to the database, and how to remove the ones that
are all ready stored there when I query them back to the browser from a
web page.  Also, if I do remove them, how do I make sure I format the
text correctly when I push it back to the browser as the default values
of these fields?

Point me to the elixir of knowledge and let me bath in the fortitude of
a master regex expression to rid me once and for all of the dreaded
^M!!!

Thank you, and good night!

... = str_replace("\r\n", "\n", ...);

But I don't see how this would infuence the default values of form inputs, plain htmlspecialchars() should be enough.
