The problem i have is that i enter text into the field in a formatted way (with line breaks, etc) and when i pull it back out into the PHP page from a query it gets rid of all the line breaks and paragraph breaks i had. now, i know that this is because i didn't store the HTML formatted code, but i'd like to know how to insert formatted content into a database and print it back on a page. i'm using Dreamweaver Ultradev 4, btw. thanks! --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
