I have a text field in a form like this ... <textarea rows="10" cols="150" name="content"></textarea>
I am using PHP to store the entered text into the MySql database ...
It is working fine but when I echo the value from the MySQL database onto the webpage , all the text comes up in a single line ...
Means if I entered 3 lines in the text area and save it to database , then by echo from they arey are not coming into three separate lines ...
How get rid of this problem ...???

Whitespace is ignored in HTML output. You have to explicly add the <br> by using nl2br()
echo nl2br($textfield);
If you are redisplaying in a textarea (for editing) you don't need the nl2br, the line breaks should work on their own.
