PHP-problem in Javascript

[UQKdk]

Hello there,

I have writted a text in a textarea called $text.
I want to insert it into a var in javascript. The problem it, that if I make a newline, will the javascript look like this:

var text = 'line1
line2'

that javascript cannot understand. I want it to be like this:

var text = 'line1<br>line2'

I cannot just use nl2br(), because it doesn't replace the newline, it just insert the <br>. How do I remove the newline?

Thanks!

try using

str_replace("\n","<br>",$text);

Nice, it works... but you have to change \n to \r will you should have the same problem! 🙂
