Every now and then I come accross a PHP function that I wish I new about ages ago that would have saved SOOO much time and effort stuffing around. So I thought I would share... Perhaps you have a function that you think everyone should know about too?

nl2br() "NewLine to(2) Break"

Inserts a <br /> at each instance of \n. when the php string is returned for use in html.

eg:$string="Row 1. \n Row2. \n";
$output=nl2br($string);
return $output;

would show:
Row1.<br />
Row2.<br />

You'll have those experiences... Every so often I have to go back and have another look at array, string, or mysql, and just about every other category of functions to see how I can make my life easier...
