[PHP]Line-Breaking in DB.

On RZ, if you end a line with the enter key while posting, it'll automatically make a <br /> of it.
How do they does vB do that?
I've tried nl2br but that requires the use of '\n' anyway.

Thanks,

~Elite.

$str = preg_replace("/\n/", "<br/>", $str);

does \n automatically get generated in a <textarea> when you insert it in a DB?

EDIT:
It worked !
Yay, thanks ! :p

$str = nl2br($str);

Pieman, your evil ideas kills me.

Yep, should do the same. And yes, the browser inserts a \n character for each new line.

I know but there is no reason to rewrite the function ;) .
