i'm still fairly new to php, so this questions may be pretty obvious.

i'm trying to allow strong, em, and a tags to pass through, but i also want to keep the breaks. all is fine with strong and em, but a's attributes show through. when i get rid of nl2br, everything works, but then i lose my breaks. here is my code:

$post = strip_tags($post, '');
$post = nl2br($post);

the link looks like this when it outputs:

href="http://www.yahoo.com">click here

a is missing, but the href shows through. link hovers, but of course, it doesn't take you anywhere.

thanks in advance!
