PHP Formated Text Diplay: How do I echo linebreaks, paragraphs, bolding etc

[Alexmatete]

Hi.

 

Keep in mind I am a beginner - using Dreamweaver server behaviors

 

I am using a form with Text Edit features to insert user articles.

The problem is  the text is displayed without lined breaks or any form of formatting. See below my php:

PHP Code:

<?php echo $row_NewsDisp['news_article'];?>

 

 

If you can just insert the required tags where they are needed - ie. <b><p><br>

 

Thanks

<?php echo nl2br($row_NewsDisp['news_article']);?>

Please note Barand's solution will only add line breaks.

Without seeing data to see if there is anything in there to indicate where bolding needs to be applied I can't supply any magic recipes
