get the newlines out of textarea input 1

[Guest_imported]

I have a textarea on my site that has to be processed. I have to put the input in one line or the code will start a new thread. If people don't use "return" it works fine, but if they do, every newline creates a new thread.

I tried to work it out with =~ s/\n/<br>/g; to make it work with html. I also tried getting it out as %0A. It always ends up with getting newlines and <br>'s.

Can anybody help me?

try:[tt] s/[\n\r]+/<br>/g[/tt] as the field may have windows style returns... &quot;If you think you're too small to make a difference, try spending a night in a closed tent with a mosquito.&quot;
