[SOLVED] Need help

[LOUDMOUTH]

I have this as my reply message code it inserts the dashes as a line break to separate the Original message from the reply.  How can I get rid of the dashes and just have 2 break lines instead?

 

\n ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ \n

 

<td width='85%' colspan='3'><textarea name='msgtext' cols='53' rows='7'><?php echo ($_GET['reply'] != "") ? " \n ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ \n ".$worked2['msgtext'] : "";  ?></textarea></td>

<hr> might be what your after.

 

Edit: i did misread that, the answers in phil88's reply.

Where would I add the <hr >

[phil88]

I think iarp may have misread your post, I don't think <hr> is what you need (unless I've misread your post )

 

Instead of;

 

<td width='85%' colspan='3'><textarea name='msgtext' cols='53' rows='7'><?php echo ($_GET['reply'] != "") ? " \n ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ \n ".$worked2['msgtext'] : "";  ?></textarea></td>

 

Have:

 

<td width='85%' colspan='3'><textarea name='msgtext' cols='53' rows='7'><?php echo ($_GET['reply'] != "") ? "<br><br>".$worked2['msgtext'] : "";  ?></textarea></td>

[LOUDMOUTH]

It just inserts <br><br> into the message text area

 

<td width='85%' colspan='3'><textarea name='msgtext' cols='53' rows='7'><?php echo ($_GET['reply'] != "") ? "<br><br>".$worked2['msgtext'] : "";  ?></textarea></td>

[iarp]

shouldn't \n\n work? <br> won't be processed in <textarea>

[LOUDMOUTH]

same thing with \n\n  still puts any <code> into the text area :s

[premiso]

<td width='85%' colspan='3'><textarea name='msgtext' cols='53' rows='7'><?php echo ($_GET['reply'] != "") ? "\r\n \r\n".$worked2['msgtext'] : "";  ?></textarea></td>

 

Give that a try and see what comes of it. (Granted \n\n should have worked unless you are not making it clear on exactly what you want).

Here is what I mean.  in the first image it shows you the dashes it enters into the text area.

 

in the second is the view of a reply and as you can see it enters those dashes, i just want it to be a blank space in between the message and reply

On displaying it in the 2nd page us nl2br on the data. That will solve the issue.

 

As such, what you have posted really does not have much to do with how/where the data is displayed. That would have been better code to post.

[LOUDMOUTH]

Here is the View message page, where would I add the nl2br code?

 

<?
include 'header.php';
?>
<tr><td class="contenthead">Mailbox</td></tr>
<tr><td class="contentcontent">
<table width='100%'>
<?
$result = mysql_query("SELECT * from `pms` WHERE `id`='".$_GET['id']."'");
$row = mysql_fetch_array($result);
     $from_user_class = new User($row['from']);
if ($_GET['id'] != ""){
    if (strtoupper($row['to']) == strtoupper($user_class->username)) {
    echo "
					<tr>
						<td width='15%'>Subject:</td>
						<td width='45%'>".$row['subject']."</td>
						<td width='15%'>Sender:</td>

						<td width='25%'>".$from_user_class->formattedname."</td>
					</tr>
					<tr>
						<td>Recieved:</td>
						<td colspan='3'>".date(F." ".d.", ".Y." ".g.":".i.":".sa,$row['timesent'])."</td>
					</tr>
					<tr>

						<td colspan='3' class='textm'><b>Message</b>:<br><br>".wordwrap($row['msgtext'], 100, "\n", 1)."
				    	</td>
					</tr>
					<tr>
					<td colspan='4' align='center'><a href='pms.php?delete=".$row['id']."'>Delete</a> | <a href='pms.php?reply=".$row['id']."'>Reply</a></td>
					</tr>
					<tr>
						<td colspan='4' align='center'><a href='pms.php'>Back To Mailbox</a></td>
					</tr>

";
$result2 = mysql_query("UPDATE `pms` SET `viewed` = '2' WHERE `id`='".$row['id']."'");
}
}
?>

</table>
</td></tr>
<?
include 'footer.php';
?>

[premiso]

<td colspan='3' class='textm'><b>Message</b>:<br><br>".wordwrap(nl2br($row['msgtext']), 100, "\n", 1)."

 

Would be where you would add it.
