[ludjer]

i have a form that takes what ever the user put into it a database
i would like it that when the user puts a new line in (hits Enter)
that a br is placed there
bit while the guy is typing but when he hits submit

thx alot

str_replace("bad_letter","</br>",$form_field_name);

please read up on str_replace and also eregi_repalce as they are used on php codes daily to modify information form a database and will also intrest you
as a learner ok.

good luck.

dude thx alot i will try that now

[redarrow]

does that mean when a user press the enter button to make a new line when there adding some text to a form that nl2br makes the <Br/> happen.

and thank you so much cheers.

[Jenk]

not instantly, but if you pass the data through nl2br on processing, yes it will.
