That worked, but why? According to php.net, it works on the "new line"
character, which I believe is ASCII 10. Filemaker says that any returns
within a text field are ASCII 11.

Anyway, nl2br() worked so well that I didn't need the array and foreach().
The function alone did the trick for my purpose.

Thanks!
