Problem with LINE BREAKS

[halex]

Hello guys,

I have in my database TEXT field with some textual data which have ENTER's and it is written like this:

First Sentence...
Second Sentence...
Third Sentence...

I need this to be writen like this:

First Sentence...<br>Second Sentence...<br>Third Sentence...

Note: String Function nl2br() doesn't help me because it adds <br /> but structure of text is not in one continuous row.
I need my text in only one row because it is written in HTML HIDDEN field (don't ask why) and if I have something like bellow I will have JavaScript error after performing nl2br() !

hidden.value='First Sentence...
<br />Second Sentence...
<br />Third Sentence...'

You see? Structure remains in 3 rows and this is resulting in JS error.

Help please. Any clues?

[man]str_replace[/man]. Hint: You'll want to replace "\n".

I should know that ist could be as the same as in Java or JavaScript :-)

Eh....

Thanks

Well, it replaced all "\n" with <br> but what is very strange is that structure remains! It did't put all my text data in one row (text remains in three rows).
Is it possible that ENTER char is written differently in MySQL database? I wrote to MySQL database from MS ACCESS (via ODBC bridge) - I had some textarea element in MS ACCESS form (and I have the exact copy of that form in HTML on web) so when I write date in ACCESS there are instantaniously visible on net...

You need to replace "\r\n" not only "\n" !

Thanks for hints!
