This is the only code that I know. Id bet there are better ones but...

thats what I use. You will have to addapt it to your own need.

$message = nl2br(mysql_result($result,"message"));

specificlly

$X = nl2br();

nl2br = New Line 2 Break :)

You'll still have to do your text formatting tags like <strong> and such, but at least this way it will read the database entry with cariage returns :)
