Re: [PHP] strip_tags and nl2br

Are you sure there are newlines before you run strip_tags?

I would assume so, because everything from the textarea runs together in one line when displayed in the browser until filtered through nl2br(). That would suggest to me that there are indeed \n's that are being converted to <br>'s.

And about 15 minutes later, it appears I'm eating my words...

My code was fine upon injecting my data into its database. However, I run strip_tags again upon extracting the data, so of course that caused problems. I solved this by entering the data with newlines instead of tags, so only when displaying the data do I run nl2br() after running strip_tags.

Now everything works fine. Sorry for the noise everyone.
