Help me understand a bit of the php manual...

In the PHP manual, it says this

"(pay attention to line endings - PHP uses a native function to parse the input)"

in the get_meta_tags section
What does this mean?

Well if you create a page on Linux and then parse it on a windows PC using get_meta_tags it won't work because the two OS use different line endings.

If you want a small utility to convert dos character returns (in text files etc) to *nix format, you could use a "dos2unix" like program..
I would upload it, but I am too lazy...
