In PHP, you can use nl2br(), like: echo "<TD colspan=\"3\" width=\"532\"><P>".nl2br($article)."</P></TD>"; This will replace "\n" (the new-line character that makes that line break in TEXTAREA) by "<br/>". If you're a maniac (like I am) you can even do: echo "<TD colspan=\"3\" width=\"532\"><P>" .str_replace(nl2br($article),"<br/>","</p><p style=\text-indent:10px\">") ."</P></TD>"; Or something similar to that.
