glenelkins Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 HiSay I have a bunch of text in the database that is simply just text with line breaks to seperate paragraphs. How can i display this on the webpage to show exactly as the text is typed. At the moment without HTML tags in there it comes back as one long stream of unformatted text Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/31097-display-data-with-new-line-char/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
