I'm trying to insert the conents of a submitted textarea into a field of a db but it seems to be stripping the control characters or not fomatting them properly. The record updates fine but when I display it all the newlines are gone ie the whole field appears on 1 line. Any ideas how to get it to store the control chars? -Ciaron -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
