PHP forums textarea support

[JackCode]

So I have a simple forums that allows you to speak to different members but they're a lot of problems with it. So first off when you reply you can't include a new line. Another problem is symbols, there change to weird black symbols. 

 

Also if you post text with no spaces then the text will expand out of its div. My forums is:

 

Ransack.comze.com/circle.php

What would you like us to do exactly?  You have provided absolutely no code.

The code is a few hundred lines, and I don't think there is any problems with it, I just thought maybe there would be some javascript I could use or something?

Actually the newlines are included, the problem is the web browser ignores whitespace characters such as newlines, in order to inforce newlines in HTML you need to use the <br> (line break) tag. PHP has a function that converts whitespace newline characters into line break tags for you. Try using nl2br when you output the text for the forum posts.

Use CSS to apply wordwrap to the .post-content class to break long continuous letters
