No break in between Different Sentences

[genzedu777]

Hi all,

 

I realised as users register themselves in the registration form, they wrote their comments and experience in the comment box which was provided

 

Example (this is the content which they have written)

'Sentence 1 - Abccafsafsafafasdfafasfafs

 

Sentence 2 - dasddsadsadsadsdaddsda'

 

 

As you can see, between Sentence 1 and 2 there is a break (space).

However when we store it in our database, and generate it out as a webpage, the break (space) is gone, and sentence 1 and 2 merged

 

Example

'Abccafsafsafafasdfafasfafsdasddsadsadsadsdaddsda'

 

My question is, how can we prevent 2 different sentences from merging? Thanks

 

Below is my code and attached it what has been generated after we have posted it in webpage

 

 

cho '<div id="panel3">';
	echo '<table>';
	/***Tutor's Comments***/
		echo'<div id="tutor_comments">';
			echo '<br/><tr><td class="row_header">Tutor\'s Comments</td></tr>';
			if (!empty($row2['tutor_comments'])) {
				echo '<tr><td>' . $row2['tutor_comments'] . '<br/><br/></td></tr>';
			}
	/***Tutor's Commitments***/
			echo '<tr><td class="row_header">Tutor\'s Commitment</td></tr>';
			if (!empty($row2['tutor_commitment'])) {
				echo '<tr><td>' . $row2['tutor_commitment'] . '<br/><br/></td></tr>';
			}		
	/***Admin_comments***/
			echo '<tr><td class="row_header">Admin\'s Comments</td></tr>';
			if (!empty($row2['admin_comments'])) {
				echo '<tr><td>' . $row2['admin_comments'] . '<br/><br/></td></tr>';
			}

	echo '</table>'; //End of Panel 3's table
		echo '</div>'; //End of tutor_comments DIV

New-line characters (\r \n) don't have meaning in rendered html content (they do have meaning in the html source code.)

The screenshot looks fine?

I can see in your example code what you're trying to show as the problem, but I can't see the problem in the screenshot? Also, why are you mixing tables and div's? It makes ur code look pretty confusing, and I'm not sure why you would want to use them both?

Hi everyone,

 

Maybe I didn't explain myself clearly.

 

Currently we have a registration form for tutors to sign up, as they had completed signing up, their Profiles will be shown in our website, however we have an issue here, when tutors write their 'experiences' in the comments box, with break lines, the break lines could not execute.

 

As you can see in the attachment (registration_form.jpg), when tutor types,

 

I am a boy.

 

I am a boy.

 

I am a boy.

 

//As you can see, the line break in the 2nd and 3rd sentence, however as their profile appear in our website, it does not execute the break lines, instead it shows

 

I am a boy.I am a boy.I am a boy 

 

//Is there a way for the system to understand that there are line breaks in between sentences, and execute exactly what the user has entered?

 

Thanks

^^^ Did you try this?

Hi Pikachu,

 

how should I do it? Is that how I should do it in bold? Thanks

 

/***Tutor's Comments***/

echo'<div id="tutor_comments">';

 

echo 'Tutor\'s Comments<br/>';

if (!empty($row2['tutor_comments'])) {

echo 'nl2br('. $row2['tutor_comments'] . ')<br/><br/>';

}

/***Tutor's Commitments***/

echo 'Tutor\'s Commitment<br/>';

if (!empty($row2['tutor_commitment'])) {

echo 'nl2br(' . $row2['tutor_commitment'] . ')<br/><br/>';

}

/***Admin_comments***/

echo 'Admin\'s Comments<br/>';

if (!empty($row2['admin_comments'])) {

echo '' . $row2['admin_comments'] . '<br/><br/>';

}

You don't enclose a php function in quotes like that to echo its output.

echo nl2br($row2['tutor_comments']) . '<br/><br/>';
