Joshua4550 Posted June 6, 2010 Share Posted June 6, 2010 Okay, i'm going to keep this short and simple - i'm sure theres a funtion for what I need. User enteres data => Data is stored in database User visits page => Data from database is displayed Atm,if they enter: Hello, next line here. When they visit the page, it will display: Hello,next line here. how can I convert the break lines, etc, into html? so that it will display as they entered it? I realise the best way would be to use the function when the page displays it, but is there even a function for this?? Much appreciated! Ps, sorry if I made tying errors - wireless keyboard playing up! Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/204018-php-display-plain-text/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenrbnsn Posted June 6, 2010 Share Posted June 6, 2010 You can either put the data to be display between the HTML <pre></pre> tags or use the function nl2br on the data when you display it.
