Rich464 Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 Hi there,I'm having a (noobish) problem that I hope someone can help with.I have written a small script to insert information from a form and insert it into the database, which seems to work fine, and I can get another page to echo out the information. The problem I'm having is I'm using a textarea tag on my form and it doesn't retain any of the carriage returns when the contents of the text area are submittedby the form so when I echo the information out of the database on another page, its all on one line.I know why it does this but can't really think of a way around this. Anyone got any ideas, constructive help is much appreciated.Thanks in advanceRich [img src=\"style_emoticons/[#EMO_DIR#]/smile.gif\" style=\"vertical-align:middle\" emoid=\":smile:\" border=\"0\" alt=\"smile.gif\" /] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
