[SOLVED] Keep Paragraphs

[gilespatrickson]

Hello.  I am uploading text data into my mysql database with no problems.  I am returning it and displaying it on my webpage.  The only issue that I am having is that I am losing my paragraphs.  I have two questions.

 

1. How do I return my data and retain my paragraphs?

2. Does it mater if you copy and past content that contains several paragraphs in the input textarea field?

 

Thanks in advance!

I have tried several different methods.  Here is the code that I have now.  It prints the data but there are no parapgraphs.  I know that I douple spaced when I input the data.  Could I have insert the data in a way that did not include the spaces?

 

<?php

echo "<br /><br /><br />";

$file = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM content WHERE cont_id = '9'") or die(mysql_error());

$data = mysql_fetch_array($file);

print $data['cont_title'];

echo "<br /><br />";

$test = mysql_real_escape_string($data['cont_body']);

print $test;

print "<br /><br />";

echo "Document Source: " . $data['cont_source'];

 

?>
