if someone writes something in a text box, how would I convert a line break in the text area to echo a <br />? I think i'll have to get the \n and convert it. can anyone tell me?

Thanks.

I use a technique similar to Lynch's

$value= preg_replace("/(\r\n|\r|\n)/", "\n", $value);//this says make \r\n or \r or \n a single \n

$value= preg_replace("/\n\n+/", "\n\n", $value);	//no more than 2 \n	

This fixes the case when some adds excessive newlines
