nl2br function seems do not operate correctly.
For example,
$a = "aaa
bbb";
$b = nl2br ($a);

The correct value of $b is following:
"aaa<br>
bbb"

But I got the wrong value like this:
"aaa
<br />
bbb"

FYI, I have used PHP language for 2 years and 
the same code I tried worked well at the prior versions (PHP3.x, PHP4.0 ~ PHP4.0.4)
