countdrac Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 hi i have form where a person enters their message in a textarea, this is saved in mysql db and then it needs to be displayed on another page. the problem im having is that lets say someone wants something like this: Blah Blah Blah Blah BlahBlah Blah Blah Blah Blah how can i show the indent when i display it as html? (they use just spaces in the textarea to create the indent) thanks Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/114828-formatting-text-from-mysql-to-html/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

vikramjeet.singla Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 i am afraid that there no such direct function in php.... you need to create it by yourself....
