Re: [PHP-DEV] Bug #11075: bad operation of nl2br function From: Daniel Beckham (danbeck <email protected>)

No, this does not break existing browsers. The problem is that nl2br has
been around for a long time. Once you understand what nl2br does, you never
need to view the function's documenation again. All the sudden, someone
sees the <br /> output, they think "bug!" and report it. They never think
to view the documentation again since it's such a trivial function.

Personally, I think people should pay more attention to web standards... if
they did, they would know it's XHTML.
