[ciapug] Formatting with line breaks...

[David Champion]

You're thinking of a different issue, Jerry. That's addressed with the 
nl2br() function.

He needs to actually insert :
$x = "text " . chr(13) . chr(10);

I don't recall that there's a constant for CRLF, like VB's vbCRLF... but 
you could put on in your code, i.e.

$_CRLF = chr(13) . chr(10);
