nl2br() doesn't work? Then you don't have newline characters in your text.
Maybe this is some Mac issue - I've heard that it might be possible that
sometimes lines come separated by CR only.
Try this:
$asrch = array("/\n\r/s", "/\r\n/s", "/\n/s", "/\r/s", "/<br \/>/s");
$arrpl = array("<br />", "<br />", "<br />", "<br />", "<br />\n);
$result = preg_replace($asrch, $arepl, $text);
Should catch all possible variations, and finally substitute your "<br />"
with a "<br />" followed by a newline character, to beautify the output.
Note the "s" modifier that tells the regex parser to handle $text as a
single line. If this is missing it will not find newline characters...
