Outputting "text" from mysql with whitespace

[onemind]

Hi,

I have a text field in a mysql table and i output it to my page with php.

The only thing is, the text outputs fine but it gets rid of all whitespace so there are no paragraphs ect and it looks like one big block of text.

Is there any way to preserve the whitespace?

Thanks for any info. :)

Use a WYSIWIG editor.

What?

How will that possibly help?

Maybe i want clear enough, i have a field in a mysql table of the "text" datatype.

When i select a text object from the database and output it with php, the whitespace is gone.

I remember there was a solution to this a while back. A certain php function that adds whitespace back to the original text.

Its all good, i figured it out:

echo nl2br($text);
