The function nl2br() have a problem with strings, that have a \n\r inside.

It returns only a HTML line break for that.

Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not
a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at
http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report
a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php

\r\n is a single Windows style linebreak. \n\r are two linebreaks
(Unix style + old MacOS style).
