Functions + ereg issue

[Screamsid]

Hi, i'm making a back end control panel for a website of mine and i'm trying to find out how i would be able to strip /n and replace them with <BR>. Also when the script see's ' it replaces it with /'

I know you can write this into once ereg_replace expression, but was wondering if it's able to use the same ereg to do both jobs on the same string?

this is what i have so far

function nremover($msg){
$str = $msg;
$pat = &quot;/n&quot;;
$rep = &quot;<BR>&quot;;
return ereg_replace($pat, $rep, $str);
}

I'd just use nl2br(). (

Just a note:
Your function wouldn't work anyway. The newline character is &quot;\n&quot; not with a forward slash.
Follow sleipnir's advice. The nl2br() actually creates <br/> XHTML compliant tags.
