The problem of ereg_replace

[Anon]

I have put my data in mysql, and I want to display my date in the browse. When I use the ereg_replace("[","<",$content),it told "REG_EBRACK", and I want to show the "newline and enter",I use the function ereg_replace("<br>",char(13),$content),It has no response,but in asp,the replace function does! Why,how can I do using php?
Thank you!

Actually, try the nl2br() function which adds those <br> into your string automatically:

$New_Content_With_BR=nl2br($content);

Hope that helps!
