wildteen88 Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 You'll want to use a function called nl2br to convert you line breaks into HTML line breaks. The problem is with the browser and not the database. The browser ignores whitespace chars so you need to use nl2br to convert your newline chars into html line breaks Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/12646-mysql-needs-respect/#findComment-48497 Share on other sites More sharing options...
