new line to break

[termy]

Hi

I have a flash movie where the user inputs a message. The problem is, when they enter a carriage return, they would expect to see it displayed in the output flash movie.

Flash doesn't seem to be able to detect the carriage return, so I was hoping php could.

e.g. I would like to transform

$message = uno
due
tre

to

$message = uno<br>due<br>tre<br>
(or similar... \n is a good start)

I've tried
$message = nl2br("$message");

but nothing (at all) happened.... is this the correct usage?

Thanks in advance!

$message = nl2br($message);

But you must have this connected with PHP as it cannot be done in flash so in flash i think there are a few functions that do this so you can get a result.

oh - sorry - yes it is connecting to php...
(flash > php > mysql)

i think i've found what i was looking for
$message = ereg_replace ("\r", "<br>", $message);

thanks!
