My suggestion, don't try to store the text formatted. Have it format
the data on the fly based on where you need to send it. Emails will
require a "\r\n" wherever you want a line break. Be sure you use
double quotes for that as well otherwise PHP won't do the translation.<br>

Where are you writing this output to? A file? A browser?<br>

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);

How ever this isn't working as I would have suspected. For testing it
as I build it I am just echoing it out to the browser with <?= $note;
?> ... It displays but is not including the line breaks.
