Opposite of nl2br? Is it str_replace?

Question

So the function nl2br is handy. Except in my web app, I want to do the opposite, interpret line breaks as new lines, since they will be echoed into a pre-filled form.

You'd want this:

',"\n",$foo)?>

You probably forgot to use double quotes. Strings are only parsed for special characters if you use double quotes.
