[PHP] Line breaks in PHP
I have a form that edits the text on a web page by putting the data into a db and then outputting to the webpage when it is called. When I enter my text into my form I use the return key to start new lines, but when the text appears on my webpage it has no line breaks so the text just wraps to the width of the page. Is there any way of PHP picking up these line breaks so that the text will be formatted on my web page as it was on my form.

I think nl2br() is what you're looking for. RenzE Matt Davis wrote: I have a form that edits the text on a web page by putting the data into a db and then outputting to the webpage when it is called.

RE: [PHP] Line breaks in PHP
When getting the data out of a mySQL table with PHP, use: $TextArea = nl2br($TextField); If you are opening it into a form you shouldn't need any formatting as it will detect the new lines and if using a TEXTAREA the lines will be as you typed them initially. If you want to save BRs when saving the data into the table, use the above but then you won't need it when you pull the data back out.
