[SOLVED] Value displays differently to how stored

[almightyegg]

My information is stored in MySQL database.

 

An example of such data would be:

"Here is a line of writing,

here is another

 

and here is a line break"

 

 

This is stored correctly, but when echoing it out it would display:

"Here is a line of writing, here is another and here is a line break"

 

Question is how can I get this display correctly?

[almightyegg]

Oh yeah, it is also being inserted into the db through a textarea, if that makes any difference?

You will want to use the nl2br function.

This will return the output with line breaks.
