this small code will replace hard break \n or \r to <br> so it shows up properly in the html document that is displayed.

nl2br doesn't always work if you submit html in a textarea.

    Hi,

there are some reasons why you can't use that. mainly if the webmaster has it set to submit html tags and such in a textarea the nl2br will not work correctly. So you have to follow that snippet of code.
