Mark, Ignatius, John et.al.,
Thanks guys, I was able to use this:
$Message = str_replace(" "," ",$MessageText);
$MessageText = preg_replace("/(\015\012)|(\015)|(\012)/"," <br />",
$Message);
It works perfectly, at least on my Windows machine. The data is not only
input from the Textarea,
but it is also later displayed back in the Textarea and these to lines work
perfectly for new lines, indents and spaces.
