[PHP-DEV] Bug #11611: nl2br() outputting invalid <br> tags From: nutbar <email protected>
Date: 06/21/01

From: nutbar <email protected>
Operating system: Linux Slackware current 2.4.5
PHP version: 4.0.5
PHP Bug Type: Strings related
Bug description: nl2br() outputting invalid &lt;br&gt; tags

put this into a test php file:

<?php
        $temp = "this is\n\na test\n";
        printf("%s", nl2br($temp));
?>

and you should get this as output from your webserver:

this is<br />
<br />
a test<br />

I have confirmed this to be also an issue in the 4.0.6 release candidates, but I do not know when this all of a sudden became an issue. I'd like to know why it's creating <br /> tags instead of <br> tags :)
