Hi I´m using a guestbook from flash-db and my problem is that it doesn´t suport linechanges when typing a message.

The original code was

```php
$Submit = $_POST["Submit"];
$Rubrik = $_POST["Rubrik"];
$Name = $_POST["Name"];
$Comments = $_POST["Comments"];

```

And I replaced it with this after consulting some foruma etc…

```php
$Submit = $_POST["Submit"];
$Rubrik = $_POST["Rubrik"];
$Name = $_POST["Name"];
$Comments = nl2br($_POST["Comments"]);

```

This changes the use of the “enter key” to “br /” now what I wanted was it to change it into \<br\> so when I load it into my flash textfield it changes lines everytime enter is used.

Any ideas?
