Jaehoon Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 Hey guys, I have a form I'm submitting via POST and I have no idea how to replace the enter spaces in my textarea into a <br>. I've been trying all of these: $message = ereg_replace("=0D=0A=", "\r", $message); $message = ereg_replace("=0D=0A=", "<br>", $message); But nothing is working, does anyone know how to accomplish this? Thanks in advance! Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/196990-how-to-insert-a-instead-of-0d0a-on-my-form-submit/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaehoon Posted March 30, 2010 Author Share Posted March 30, 2010 Thanks for your help, the code you posted works, but I seem to be capturing the "ENTER" put in by php into the url wrong... URL: msg=this%0D%0Ais%0D%0Aa%0D%0Atest in the url a ENTER break is represented as %0D%0A , is '=0D=0A=' the proper way to represent the %0D%0A in the replace function?

Jaehoon Posted March 30, 2010 Author Share Posted March 30, 2010 No sorry, this is a screenshot of my script... I wanted to represent my blog post as shown on the textarea... Just like the box I'm typing the reply on right now, if i press enter to goto the next line... on the forum it will show up as a break So I guess the main issue is that when I submit my form... my breaks are stripped out, and everything becomes 1 long sentence. I wanted my break to remain so the blog post can be represented with breaks the way it was written into the textarea box I know this problem can be avoided if i type <br> into my textarea to goto the next line, but I wanted to be able to press enter to insert a break automatically Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/196990-how-to-insert-a-instead-of-0d0a-on-my-form-submit/#findComment-1034190 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaehoon Posted March 30, 2010 Author Share Posted March 30, 2010 Thanks.. I just found the article @ http://www.plus2net.com/php_tutorial/line-breaks.php I've only been using php for a week, so yeah lol. I am using a mySQL database to store all my data, but I post the form and caught the message with $_GET... Is there a better way to go about this?
