RN!? WHAT THE HECK?

[SieRobin]

Yeah I did but it gives me the 500 Internal Server Error.

Is there any significant portion I have to put that into, in the htaccess file?

Small example of formatting

[code]
<?php

$mess="hi there iam redarrow and i like php ";

//see only words from 0 - 14
$mess=substr($mess,0,21);

//wordwrap add <br> letter afther word 14
$mess=wordwrap($mess,14,"<br>",1);

echo "<br>$mess<br>";

//when ever hit the enter key put a <br> aftherwards.
$message=nl2br($message);


echo"<font color='red'>$message<br></font>";


?>

<form method="post" action="">
<br>
please enter message
<br>
<textarea name="message" col"20" rows="10"></textarea>
<br>
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="send message">
<br>
</form>

[/code]

Would you like me to copy and paste what's in the htaccess?

[redarrow]

maybe you should post the htacces for overs i suck at htaccess but someone should be able to help.

[code]# -FrontPage-

That's what's in htaccess.

Ok I kinda figured it out after a google search lol. Apparently, I need this to not get the server error.

[code]<ifmodule mod_php4.c>
php_flag magic_quotes_gpc Off
php_flag magic_quotes_runtime Off
php_flag magic_quotes_sybase Off
</ifmodule>[/code]

Although this does nothing, uhhh maybe there's something else?

I'm really sure what is going on really. However try this simple script:
[code]<?php

if(isset($_POST['submit']))
{
    echo "<b>The Message:</b><br />\n" . nl2br($_POST['msg']) . "<hr />\n";
}

?>
<form action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>" method="post">
  <textarea name="msg">Enter your message</textarea><br />
  <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Post Message" />
</form>[/code]
Do you get the same result as you do with your forum?

[SieRobin]

It's basically outputted by a textarea.. whenever you hit enter, it enters "rn" instead of "\n".

[SieRobin]

The answer to your question is no wildteen, it works PERFECTLY with the script you posted.. why mine doesn't work.. well you got me lol.

Ahha! Me and a friend solved the problem! My connect.php naturally is an include, and it contained escapes that were messed with the output of it. So we got rid of them! Works great now :D
