Preserve Paragraph Breaks

Not line breaks

[ukgimp]

Only just noticed this but:

$content = nl2br($content);
$print "<p>$content</p>";

Produces this:

<p>line 1<br />
line 2<br />
<br />
line 3</p>

Can it be done with somethind so the following occurs:

<p>line 1</p>
<p>line 2</p>
<p>line 3</p>

Cheers

<?php

$text = 'Some text..<br /> with line breaks..';
$text = nl2br($text);
$text = str_replace( '<br />', '</p><p>', $text);
echo '<p>'.$text.'</p>';

?>

Should do it. :)

well, that should do it, but why to use nl2br any longer?:

$content = str_replace("\n","</p>\n<p>",$content);
$print "<p>$content</p>";

That should do the trick properly. Don't feel offended ;)

its actually a fairly common function to make

function nl2p($content) {
$content = explode("\n",$content);
foreach($content as $key => $line) {
$lines[$key] = "<p>".$line."</p>";
}
$content = implode("\n",$lines);
return $content;
}

should do the trick

I would do

$content=sprintf('<p>%s</p>',preg_replace("/\r*\n/","</p>\n<p>",$content));

(Untested code, as usual)

Can I just ask - do your linebreaks (or newlines, or whatever) really correspond to paragraphs? I mean, from an HTML standpoint, is that what you really want?
