Re: [PHP] textarea -- what happens to my new lines
okay,...now that you showed some code... basically, when you input via textarea all new lines are in the string like \n so to display them correctly in show.php do like: pre ?=$lines? /pre basically, in HTML the '\n' doesn't show you a new line, or else you can replace all the '\n' with 'br' tag! -elias www.eassoft.cjb.net Stampe, Lars [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote in message 06D1C9FA1087D4119FC900508B95056E768ABF@eulexch1a">news:06D1C9FA1087D4119FC900508B95056E768ABF@eulexch1a...

Try this: ?php $textfield = nl2br($textfield); echo $textfield; ? For more info, have a look at http://www.php.net/nl2br.
