Re: Help with formating text from PHP

Well, as one of the last posts said, if you are displaying in a web 
browser, via HTML, you need to insert <br> tags where you want the text to 
go to the next line.  HTML doesn't respond to /r/n pairs.  So if that is 
how the user types them in (with a enter key at the end of lines) you need 
to replace with <br>'s if there are no EOL's in the original text you need 
to decide on some arbitrary length and insert <br> at that point.
