If you want to generate 'proper' closed tags you should use:

$newtext = '<p>' . str_replace ("\n",'</p><p>',trim ($oldtext)) . '</p>';

or for '<br />' tags:

$newtext = str_replace ("\n", '<br />', trim ($oldtext));

The trim is used to prevent extra tags being appended if there are any 
trailing or leading newlines.
