Don't use nl2br when you're storing the data, use it when you're displaying it. // write data to table $s = "INSERT INTO foo SET bar = 'some text \n with a line break'"; $q = mysql_query ($s); // read data from table $s = "SELECT foo FROM bar"; $q = mysql_query ($s); $r = mysql_fetch_array ($q); echo "this is ". nl2br ($r["foo"]); HTH Jon -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
