[FX.php List] Exploding the carriage returns within a Filemaker field

[Dale Bengston]

I think what you're running into is the inconsistent encoding of  
carriage returns across platforms. To expand on Gjermund's idea, you  
could use nl2br() to replace your carriage returns with <br />  
(generally for display of data with returns in a browser page) and  
then use explode() to explode the elements by <br />.
