Hey everyone,
I have a little bit of a quandry. I need to strip HTML tags from user
input, but I also need to convert \n's from the textarea elements to
<br> tags so it will display properly in a browser.
nl2br() works just fine, but if I use strip_tags first, then run nl2br,
nl2br won't work as expected. Instead, everything shows up on a single
line.
I understand why it won't work if I place a call to nl2br inside a call
to strip_tags, but strip_tags doesn't get rid of \n's, right?
I'm making my calls like this:
$string = strip_tags($_SESSION['variable']);
$string = nl2br($string);
I would expect that to work, but it doesn't :( Am I missing something?
I originally placed the call to strip_tags inside the call to nl2br,
but when that didn't work, I tried doing these calls separately.
Thanks!
James
