If wrap="soft" isn't working in Firefox, then your fancy-dancy CSS is
messing things up somehow, or you've managed to do something else
really weird...

Firefox wraps just fine for me, in all the textarea inputs I've ever
used.

Do NOT set the wrap to "hard"

It will only cause you grief in the long run.

It's going to insert newlines where they shouldn't be, and then your
data is corrupt.

If they are being quoted literally, then something is not right...

\n in particular should flow through just fine.

 would be quoted literally if you ran it through htmlspecialchar
or htmlentities.

Sounds like you're using literal quotes here, Mary.  Single quotes
('like this')take all data between them as literal, while double
quotes ("like this") translate things within.

$a = "Hello!";
$b = "I just wanted to say: $a";
$c = 'I just wanted to say: $a';
$d = "The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dogs.\n";
$e = 'The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dogs.\n';

The above will output as follows:

$a: Hello!
$b: I just wanted to say: Hello!
$c: I just wanted to say: $a
$d: The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dogs. (with a newline)
$e: The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dogs.\n

You may instead want to use HEREDOC syntax.

well, i don't think nl2br() is  a solution here because nl2br() only replace
the '\n' with
 html tags which is displayed inside the textarea. the textarea will
display a new
line with '\n'..

$str = "hello\nworld";
will display

hello
world

in text area. but

$st = 'hello\nworld'.

will be display as

hello\nworld

just like what TG trying to say..

my client ask me about this problem 2 weeks ago. he want the text to
automatically
go to new line after user type until the end of the line. The only possible
solutions so
far is using wrap='hard' or wrap='soft'
eg: 
but wrap only work on IE & Netscape browser. Not working in firefox.
i guess i want to use javascript to do the text formatting. trigger the
javascript event
every time the user using the onchange event (i never try)..
i is quite complicated & i dont have much time working on it.
so i decided to tell him, it cannot be done :)


Re: [PHP] new lines in textareas?

Is \n included literally because you're using single quotes for the variable?

$textdata = 'This is a test\nThis is the second line';

vs...

$textarea = "This is a test\nThis is the second line";

I would guess a lot of the pages you find are talking about what to do with 
the text after submitting through the textarea, not re-displaying with 
proper breaks when loading a page containing a text area that should have 
data.

RE: [PHP] New lines

2004-02-03 Thread Robert Sossomon
A LOT of this is pure speculation though, which is why I sent the one I
did.  Since with it he can patch whatever data he gets from $line into
his code wherever he needs it, whether he flat file is pure text or some
HTML or if the output is going to be a drop-down list (nl2br wouldn't
work in this case, right?) or just a straight display of the stuff line
by line (nl2br in this case) but as with I have found with my own stuff,
my bosses like to change the UI halfway through, so the less code I have
to go back and fiddle with while developing is worth the extra CPU
cycles.   2 * 2G processor and 1G of ram means cpu cycles I won't
miss...

You probably want the WRAP=virtual parameter in your TEXTAREA.

Hi, I don't know what is exactly what you want to do, but I have a page with a 
 tag, and a mySQL database with a TEXT field, that way I can use newline 
breaks.
Bye.

Have you tried putting the newline character (\n) into your html?  That
works great for me.  My only problem is that the output from an XSL
transformation has all the line breaks stripped out...

[PHP] new lines in text fields

2001-07-06 Thread Mat Marlow

Hi all,
I am in desperate need for a solution to HTML text fields not storing new
lines. I'm storing news articles in a database but all the text just ends up
in a big block because it ignores line breaks. Is thre a way around this
without having to upload text files?

Thanks,

Mat
