Question

For some reason, preg_replace("/\\n/", "<br />", $string); isn’t working.

The string outputs in this format: blah blah blah\nblah blah blah even after the preg replace.

I want to change if for a <br />.

nl2br() doesn’t work either, but as it’s just text, I wasn’t sure if it should.

The preg_replace function works on a word in the string. 🙁

Try this:

str_replace("\n", "<br />", $string);
