It sounds like a pretty simple question but I can find the answer no where.

I have a post from a textarea. and I want to use the current facebook php library to do the following...

$description = $_POST['textarea_description'];

//magic happens

$attachment =  array(
'access_token' => $token,
'message' => "$title",
'picture' => "$image_url",
'link' => "$action_link",
'name' => "$action_label",
'caption' => "$caption",
'actions' => $action_json,
'description' => "$description",
 );

$facebook->api('/'.$my_uid.'/feed', 'POST', $attachment);

and have it work. Right now it seems to ignore

<br> <br /> \n \r \n\r \r\n

but I am sure I might have done something to screw up my testing.. I just need to replace 'magic happens' with something that works. Right now it just converts all of the newlines I am throwing at it to spaces.. Pretty frustrating. Someone on the facebook forums suggested addslashed() of all things... but that did not seem to work for me

Thanks, -FT
