echo strslashes(nl2br($var)); - you might need the strslashes function to get rid of the pesky / in your echoed text.

if ([url=http://uk2.php.net/manual/en/function.get-magic-quotes-gpc.php]get_magic_quotes_gpc()[/url]) {
[url=http://uk2.php.net/manual/en/function.stripslashes.php]stripslashes[/url](nl2br($var));
}
else {
nl2br($var)
}

If you are worried about additional slashes then check using get_magic_quotes_* there is a function for gpc and runtime, depending on what you are worried about.
