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 Quote Link to comment 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.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
