[SOLVED] Displaying Text from MySQL

[$username]

Hello All,

      I am trying to find out how to display text from MySQL that was entered by using a textbox HTML

So when I do a echo echo from a database field that had text entered from a text field it does not add the spaces and return lines.

 

But when I echo it in to a html text box it does display the return characters.

 

Does this makes sence and is there a way to make this work?

 

 

Thanks

Brett

can you post the code you are working with?

I would suggest using htmlentities() to encode it before inserting it into the DB, then use html_entity_decode() when pulling it out.

Thanks F1Fan that is what I was looking for.
