Re: Convert plain text to HTML tagged text

if the returnns are "\n" you only need nl2br("this \n test \n")... or
preg_replace("/((\r|\n)|(\r\n|\n\r))/", "<br />", "this \r\n test \r\n")...
good luck...

But I also need to keep those extra <P> tags out of the database file so the
text can be exported and poured into a layout program.

maybe I'm missing something. Do I have to use regular expressions in PHP as
the text is pulled from the database?
