I'm writing a script to import another forum's database into Xoops.

The other database stores actual HTML line break tags (<br>) in the posts' text.

Should "<br>" be translated to "\n" (Unix line terminator), or to "\r\n" (DOS/Windows line terminator)? Does this depend on whether the server is Linux or Windows?

Re: Newlines

It's the mysql, that's why you should use the "\n". It doesn't matter if the server is Linux or Windows because I use both types and you need to use "\n" instead of "<br>".

Thanks

I found this function in class/module.textsanitizer.php. So it looks like it doesn't matter whether \r\n, \r, or \n is used in the database.

/**
     * Convert linebreaks to <br /> tags
     *
     * @param    string  $text
     *
     * @return    string
     */
    function &nl2Br($text)
    {
        return preg_replace("/(1512)|(15)|(12)/","<br />",$text);
    }
