if i enter

hello

 

hello

 

it shows as

hello hello

on the code below but in mysql database it shows the gap in the first bit

 

 

this displays it

<?php
$con = mysql_connect("","","");
if (!$con)
{
die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
}
mysql_select_db("", $con);
$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM News");
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
{
echo $row['News'];
}
mysql_close($con);
?>

 

and this submits to the database

<?php
include("dbinfo.inc.php");
mysql_connect($localhost,$username,$password);
@mysql_select_db($database) or die( "Unable to select database");
$query="SELECT * FROM News WHERE id='$id'";
$result=mysql_query($query);
$num=mysql_numrows($result); 
mysql_close();

$i=0;
while ($i < $num) {
$News=mysql_result($result,$i,"News");


?>
<form action="updated.php">
<input type="hidden" name="ud_id" value="<? echo "$id"; ?>">
News:<br> <TEXTAREA NAME="ud_News" COLS=40 ROWS=6><? echo "$News"?></TEXTAREA><br>
<input type="Submit" value="Update">
</form>

<?php
++$i;
} 
?>

HTML uses <br> tags to indicate a newline. Hence, you'll need to insert a <br> tag everywhere there is a newline char.

 

There is a builtin function for this: nl2br.

 

This only needs to be used when youi want to display your data, not on the way into the database.

 

thanks that is what i was looking for i didn't want to use <br> all the time
