Will do it with 4.05 (on an prod.-system I won't work with dev-Versions, till I have a

May I ask where?
I've searched the whole doc (downloadable from php.net/docs.php, which a target-user
would use) for:
- "changed", -> nothing with that info
- "4.04" with absolutely no results, and
- "4.05" only found for setcookie.
But back to nl2br():
"nl2br -- Inserts HTML line breaks before ..." and then
"Returns string with '<br />' inserted before all newlines. "
What I meant: Shouldn't HTML be changed to XHTML?
And is it really that bad to write also a note like "Note: In versions older than PHP
4.04 nl2br() returned a string with
'<br>' inserted before all newlines." ?
For behavior-changes like this: Please have in mind, that there are millions scripts
running out there, and not all of them
running on the last PHP-version.

Agreed.
