php and textarea

Recommended Posts

Hello,

I have a form that users submit and it includes a textarea. I want it to capture the returns they put in the textarea into a mysql database. I have this much done. But, when I print the data back out, I want it to be formatted where there are returns. How can I go about doing this?


Thanks!

while your text area is stored in the database it keeps track of the return strokes, but if you want those to apear on your webpage, you use the command to convert them to line breaks

nl2br(); should do the trick
