Before storing information from a form in database I perform follwing
operations on it :
$path =
mysql_real_escape_string(strip_tags(trim(urldecode ($_POST['path']))));
$summary =
mysql_real_escape_string(strip_tags(trim(urldecode ($_POST['summary']))))

When I look in database I see '\r\n' in the text for the summary
wherever I pressed return-key.
When i retrieve the information from database and display it on webpage
'\r\n' is displayed even when I use
nl2br or
str_replace("\r\n", "<br/>", $content) or
str_replace(array("\r\n", "\n", "\r"), "<br>", $text) or
preg_replace("/\r\n|\n|\r/", "<br>", $text)
the '\r\n' is replaced with a <br>.
How is the possible ? The functions work when I let them handle a string
like "A little bit of\r\ntext".

A folder is stored as 'H:\\\\My Pictures\\\\Anemone.jpg' in the
database. When I want to display the folder I use the function
stripslashes first but then I still get 'H:\\My Pictures\\Anemone.jpg'.
Why should I apply stripslashes twice ?

magic_quotes_runtime boolean
If magic_quotes_runtime is enabled, most functions that return data
from any sort of external source including databases and text files
will have quotes escaped with a backslash.

See get_magic_quotes_gpc() in the docs.
You can easily add code to account for this possibility:
get_magic_quotes_gpc() && $str = strip_tags( $str );
I'm also willing to bet that your line breaks are currently double
escaped e.g. "\\r\\n".
