Ahem. I mean nl2br();
That's because the browser doesn't read the line breaks without a tag at the end. All you need to do is this:
echo nl2br($textarea);
?>
nl4br(); will insert a tag after every new line so your browser
can display it correctly.

In PHP, you can use nl2br(), like:
echo "".nl2br($article)."";
This will replace "\n" (the new-line character that makes that line
break in TEXTARE
I am setting u a simple article storage/retrieval system and have set
up a MySQL database with a few VARCHAR fields for author, date,
source and a BLOB field for article. I have also set up two pages,
one for editing/adding new articles and a second one for viewing the
articles.

hello,
I have a web from that allows a user to submit a resume in text format. How
do i make mysql respect the formatting of the text document so that it is
pulled from the database as it was inserted? right now everything comes
back as one paragraph.
thanks,
blue
I define my textareas like this (perl cgi scritps):
$portdesc
Note the WRAP="SOFT" flag
I then simply insert the users information into the mysql table and when it
is called up in the HTML form, it retains its carriage returns.
You do need to ensure that quotes are handled correctly.
