Andy17 Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 Hey there freaks! I have a submit form on my website where users can write in text and add it to my MySQL database. I was just thinking that if they press the Enter key, this is shown in the database, but when I withdraw the row, that space is not shown in HTML. Therefore, I was thinking if there is a way to replace those spaces with a <br> tag. I guess you could use the str_replace() function, but I am not sure what to put in there (how to tell PHP to replace a hit on the Enter key with <br>). I hope you guys can help me out! Thanks in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonLewis Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 nl2br() is what you are after. I'm guessing you mean line breaks. Or you can use str_replace() and use PHP_EOL as the search and replace it with the HTML line break. But nl2br() is much easier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
