My main question is this. When I script out normal html from a normal \<textarea\>, I always convert the "  
"s to “\<br\>“s. With flash, if I use a multi-lined text box and send it to php, it doesn’t utilize the  
character (supposedly) because when I eregi\_replace(”  
“,”\<br\>”,$text); it doesn’t do anything! Anyone have ideas?

The code coming from a flash, multi-lined text input field:  
**$story = eregi\_replace("  
“,”\<br\>",chop($HTTP\_POST\_VARS[‘story’]));**
