I'm in the process of writing a Mailing list. It supports both plain and HTML emails. The problem I am having is replacing all the \n's ONLY on lines that do not have HTML on! This is getting to be a real pain :( Anyone know of any good regex to do this?

Thanks...and any help is much appreciated :)

I've got something similar to this at the moment;

$message = ereg_replace(&quot;\n&quot;, &quot;<BR>&quot;, $message);

I was thinking of something more along the line of;

if (eregi(&quot;/^someregex/i&quot;, $message)) {

$message = ereg_replace(&quot;\n&quot;, &quot;<BR>&quot;, $message);

} else {

// don't do anything here...cos $message didnt look like it had HTML in it...

}

But will this verify if the line has HTML? Thats the main problem I've got. It keeps replacing all newline breaks with <BR>'s, whereas I only need new lines without HTML code on to have the <BR>s inserted.

Thanks for the extremly fast replies :)

Something like

Code: 
<HTML>
<BODY>
<HEAD>

<font color=red>some word test</font>

</HEAD>
</BODY>
</HTML>

and it ends up something like;

Code: 
<HTML><BR>
<BODY><BR>
<HEAD><BR>
<BR>
<font color=red>some word test</font><BR>
<BR>
</HEAD><BR>
</BODY><BR>
</HTML><BR>

Thanks :)

OK this will add <br> to lines not conatining html and to blank lines.(incidentally you can call this test.php ad then point it at a html file to get an idea of output like message html file>
if (isset($message)){
<?php
$fcontents = file($message);

while (list ($line_num, $line) = each ($fcontents)) {

if (isset($line) && ereg(&quot;^<.+>.+&quot;,$line)) {

echo &quot;$line&quot;;

} else{

echo nl2br($line);

}
}

}else{

echo &quot;no message specified&quot;;

}
?> ***************************************

why do these things post extra stuff.
move the first <?php to above the isset($message) line and ignore (dont put in) the ; in the url code. ***************************************
