[SOLVED] str_replace

[dropfaith]

So im trying to build a simple blog site where users submit storys and such to my mysql database and im wondering how to make it so if the user hits enter or there is a blank line it inserts the proper html </p><p> to create the paragraghs on the entry

 

full code for form and insert is below

 

 

<?php
    $u = $_SESSION['userTitle'];
    $uid = $_SESSION['loginid'];

$query = "SELECT * FROM login WHERE loginid = '$uid'";
$result = mysql_query($query) or die ("Error in query: $query. " . mysql_error());
// if records present
if (mysql_num_rows($result) > 0)
{
// iterate through resultset
// print article titles
while($row = mysql_fetch_object($result))
{
?>
<input type="hidden" name="Author" value="<? echo $row->username; ?>">
<input type="hidden" name="loginid" value="<? echo $row->loginid; ?>">

<?
}
}
// if no records present
// display message
else
{
?>

<?
}
// close database connection
mysql_close($connection);?>

						<p>
							<label>Title</label>
							<input type=text name="Title" size="28">
						</p>
						<p>
							<label>Date</label>
							<input type=text name="Date" size="28">
						</p>

						<p>
							<label>Genre</label>

<select name="Genre">
<?
			// includes
			include("../template/conf.php");
			// open database connection
			$connection = mysql_connect($host, $user, $pass) or die ("Unable to connect!");
			// select database
			mysql_select_db($db) or die ("Unable to select database!");
			// generate and execute query
			$query = "SELECT * FROM genre";
			$result = mysql_query($query) or die ("Error in query: $query. " . mysql_error());
			// if records present
			if (mysql_num_rows($result) > 0)
			{
			// iterate through resultset
			// print article titles
			while($row = mysql_fetch_object($result))
			{
			?>
			<option value="<? echo $row->Genre; ?>"><? echo $row->Genre; ?>
			<?
			}
			}
			// if no records present
			// display message
else
{
			?>
			<li>No users</li>
			<?
			}
			// close database connection
mysql_close($connection);
			?>
