None of this works because ibase_blob_echo itself outputs the text. It
returns true, so what you did was calling nl2br/str_replace with true
argument instead of text.

> ibase_blob_echo(nl2br($row->MEMO));

This returned other kind of error, since $row->MEMO is not a string, and
result of that is not a...huh. If you don't understand why this doesn't
work, you better go back to learning PHP basics ;)

Ok, now to the solution(s):

1. Don't use blob_echo at all. Use ibase_blob_get to load blob into PHP
string and then call nl2br on it.

OR

2. Use <PRE> html tag, which renders data the way it is, i.e. all
newlines are rendered as newlines.
