[PHP] PHP using Forms
Hello, I have a form field with this data in it: My Home 11 North 5th St St. Paul MN Phone: (555) 555- Fax: (555) 555- E-Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] When submited it goes into a mysql database. The problem i'm running into is that the output looks like this after the call from the mysql database to html: My Home 11 North 5th St St. Paul MN Phone: (555) 555- Fax: (555) 555- E-Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] How do I get it to print out with line breaks like how I have typed it into the form?

The below does the newline and takes care of html tags which might otherwise get parsed by the web browser. # This function is to fix the characters. It replaces all htmlentities with their & kind representation # and converts newlines to html breaks () function fix($string) { return(nl2br(htmlentities($string))); } -Original Message- From: Jon Haworth [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, May 04, 2001 10:16 AM To: 'Mike Mike'; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [PHP] PHP using Forms Try this: $Home = nl2br($Home); // nl2br converts newlines to s See http://www.php.net/nl2br for more info.
