Hope u guys can help me, I've got a problem:
I've got a form where I input some text, but I cann't make a space between lines (kind of paragraph); please help me, I really need this  :'(

Here is the code:

<?php
$link = "admin.php";
$linkShow = "Your info is saved";
$text = stripslashes($_POST["text"]);
$text_file = "text/homepage.txt";
$name_gax = file($text_file); //opens with array
$text_open = fopen($text_file, "w+"); //open message file with write
fputs($text_open, $text);
fclose($text_open);
echo "<a href='".$link."'>".$linkShow;
?>

if only i could!

haha, it is a piece of code that I acquired some time ago, and uses regular expressions. Basically, it replaces any line returns from the textarea, with the paragraph and break tags that html uses.

eg

\r\n is one line break or return. so that should be <br />. two of them, equal a paragraph, which is <p></p>.

Pretty clever really. Did it do what you wanted?

You need to output the correct HTML tags along with the text.

For bolding:
(the old way)
[code]<?php echo '<b>' . $text . '</b>'; ?>[/code]
(the new way)
[code]<?php echo '<span style="font-weight:bold">' . $text . '</span>'; ?>[/code]

To create a link:
[code]<?php echo '<a href="http://url.goes.here/">' . $text . '</a>'; ?>[/code]

This is called BBCode. Search google for BBCode Inserter or something like that. It requires javascript. But to replace the BBCodes ie [ b]hello[/b] in to [b]hello[/b] will require the use of regular expressions. [url=http://www.phpfreaks.com/forums/index.php/topic,101566.msg402102.html#msg402102]Here[/url] is a very basic BBCode Parser, it parses bold, italic and underline BBCode.
