[SOLVED] how to add <br> in <textarea> output

[vinpkl]

hi all

 

i would like to ask that i have a <textarea> and in that i can insert 3 lines.

If the content is entered with "pressing enter" after each line then i want that 3 lines ouput should come with a break after each line. means i just want to add <br> after each line ouput.

the name of <textarea> is shipping_detail.

 

$shipping_detail=$_REQUEST['shipping_detail'];

Can you post your code that is sent after submit?

hi

 

here is the code

 

if(isset($_REQUEST['submit']))
{	
$shipping_detail=$_REQUEST['shipping_detail'];
$warranty=$_REQUEST['warranty'];

$insertqry="insert into product_table(shipping_detail,warranty) values('$shipping_detail','$warranty')";

if(mysql_query($insertqry))
$msg="shipping Product added successfully";
else
$msg="Error Inserting new product";
}

 

Here is the result

--------------------

3-7 days shipping. Product shipped from delhi.

----------------------

 

I want to insert <br> before Product word starts

I assume shipping details is:

 

123 Street

2nd Address

SomeWhere, ST 12345

 

I don't have a lot of stars by my name but this is how I handle address info.

 

It makes validation easier also.

 

<?

if(isset($_POST['submit']))
{	
$Street1=$_REQUEST['Street1'];
$Street2=$_REQUEST['Street2'];
$City=$_REQUEST['City'];
$State=$_REQUEST['State'];
$Zip=$_REQUEST['Zip'];


/** put your insert code here **/

echo $Street1; 
echo $Street2;  
echo $City;
echo $Zip;  

/** end your insert code here **/


}

?>

<form action='' method=post>
<input name='Street1' size=40 /><br />
<input name='Street2' size=40 /><br />
<input name='City' size=20 /><input name='State'  size=2/><input name='Zip' size=9 />
<br /><br />
<input type=submit name=submit value=submit>
</form>

hi

 

well its not address its detail about shipping, how many days wil it take, from where product will be shipped, about courier and all that.

it can be 3 lines, may be 5 or 6. thats why i have inserted <textarea>.

 

Here is the result

--------------------

3-7 days shipping. Product shipped from delhi.

----------------------

I want to insert <br> before Product word starts.

 

if i didnt get any solution for <textarea> then i have to adopt your solution.

This will handle the breaks the quotes the single quotes...

 

if(isset($_POST['submit']))
{	
$info=$_REQUEST['info'];
$info=stripslashes($_POST['info']);
$info=htmlentities($info, ENT_QUOTES);
$info=nl2br($info);


/** put your insert code here **/

echo $info; 


/** end your insert code here **/


}

?>

<form action='' method=post>
<textarea name=info rows="5" cols="36"></textarea>
<input type=submit name=submit value=submit>
</form>
