Inserting a paragraph tag

[Peggy]

OK I know this is a simple question. So please bear with me. I have built an administration end on a web site.

Scenario:

• The administrator is enters data that is more than one paragraph.

• Data goes into the database.

• Then when I display that data on the web I want to insert “<p></p>” at the same place the administrator started the new paragraph.

I know this should be easy. I looked for “\r” or “\n” in the data in the data base but there was none.

I tried the code below but it isn't reliable. Besides I realize that this is just a work around and there is a better more “conventional” way.

 

 

$par_one  = $row[$category . '_par_one'];

$pattern = '/[[:space:]]{5,}/';

$category_par_one  =  preg_replace($pattern, '</p><p>', $par_one );
