Sorry I forgot to copy the first <br>


I think I'm losing my mind - I just did the exact same test, and now
I'm getting the correct 

<br />

string(20) "foo isn't<br />
 bar"

I'm speechless... nothing was changed, and the server wasn't
restarted.

Maybe this should be closed - damn gremlins!

My non-phpinfo output looks like this:

<br />

string(20) "foo isn't<br />
 bar"

Two notes:
a) Yours lacks the first <br />
b) Our strings are both length 20, yours should say 18

What do you think of this? Almost as if there is something changing
your code after PHP...

Please run this code and print its output here:

<?php
phpinfo(INFO_GENERAL);
echo "\n\n<br />\n\n";
var_dump( nl2br("foo isn't\n bar") );
?>

If something sensitive appears in there, remove it first.

Description:
------------
Using the example supplied of:

echo nl2br("foo isn't\n bar");

My php 5.1.6 is actually echoing out:
foo isn't<br> bar

This is NOT xhtml compliant since it's suppose to be <br />

Anyone experienced this?


extra info:
PHP 5.1.6 (cli)

Reproduce code:
---------------
echo nl2br("foo isn't\n bar");

Expected result:
----------------
foo isn't<br /> bar

Actual result:
--------------
foo isn't<br> bar
