... and XHTML is what you should try and use. The folks over at Zend helpfully fixed this function to use XHTML. Nice job, guys.

Dear all,

If the html is used, which function is appropriate for changing NEWLINE to " " for html code.

prob the easiest way would be to use nl2br() and str_replace()

$foo = str_replace('<br />', '<br>', nl2br($text));

I've never had any difficulties with IE6 and XHTML. I only use XHTML and I use the W3C XHTML validator. Everything works perfectly in IE6 - and of course Netscape, Firefox, Opera, Konqueror and so on and so forth.

Are there any problems, anyone? I'm not aware of them.

...I use nl2br function in a lot of applications and no one ever complained and some of them are viewed over the whole variaties of operating systems and browsers...

I really can't see the problem with using over or the other way around....
