okay,...now that you showed some code...
basically, when you input via <textarea> all new lines are in the string
like \n
so to display them correctly in show.php do like:
<pre>
<?=$lines?>
</pre>
basically, in HTML the '\n' doesn't show you a new line,
or else you can replace all the '\n' with '<br>' tag!

Thanks for the idea, it didn't work, let me just explain a bit further!
this is a simple version of the code
input.htm::
<form name="form" method="get" action="show.php">
<textarea name="textfield" cols="45" rows="5" wrap="HARD"></textarea>
<p>
<input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Submit">
</form>
show.php::
<?php
echo $textfield;
?>
When I put in :
1
2
3
4
I get:
1 2 3 4
how do I fix this ( want it to appear like it was typed!)?
Regards
Lars Stampe

Try
