Automatic creation of list when getting text from DB

[melting_dog]

Hi all,

 

Weird one: I am re-working a site for a client. Their old site currently grabs text from a DB and somehow automatically puts it into a <ul>. The only thing to signify a <li> is a linebreak. So if I entered:

 

Item 1

Item 2

Item 3

 

into the database, they would come out looking like:

 

• Item1
  
• Item 2
  
• Item 3
  

 

on the site. Anyone know of a way to recreate this?

 

An example of this in action is here: http://www.postureperfection.com.au/Chairs/Amore_Chair/p/495/ (please remember - I am redesigning the site!)

 

Thanks heaps!

explode the string by line breaks then loop through the created array creating an unordered list.

Thanks for that Thorpe,

 

But could you help me out a little more - I havent used the explode function before. I try it and it prints the entire array eg: Array ( [0] =>Item 1 [1]=>Item 2 etc. Also, how would I tell it to explode after a line break?

 

Thanks heaps!
