Dumb #2

[phpbeginner]

Okay back for dumb question # 2. When adding text to the Admin textarea and hitting return for a new paragraph, it doesn't break into a new paragraph on the website. I check MYSQL and its a new paragraph in there but how do I get this to display as a new paragraph on the webpage.

Well if your displaying on html you need a <br /> break. ;)

[trq]

Take alook at [url=http://php.net/nl2br]nl2br[/url]. Use it as you display your output.

And please, more discriptive titles. Where not all [i]dumb[/i].

Except for people who use Where for We're.

Just Kidding! :-P

Burn!

Put another way

Write the data to db with \n
So when you edit you can can use it again
When you write to the browser
Use nl2br()
That will give you the breaks you designed.

Oh... she wants to start something? :p

You cut me real deep just now.

At least you didn't use your for you're. That one makes me cry a little.

Okay, here is my output to the webpage......Can someone help me out a bit please.
[code]<?php
                         
                                                        while($row=mysql_fetch_row($rs))


                            {
                                echo("<p class='pagetitle'><strong>" . $row[1] . "</strong></p>");       
                                                         
                                echo("<p>" . $row[2] . "<br>");
                                echo("<p>" . $row[3] . "<br>");                              }
                                 
                         
                            echo("</p>");
                            ?>
[/code]

Try this:...

[code]<?php
while($row=mysql_fetch_row($rs)){
  // loop and add <br> tags
  foreach ($row as $k => $v){
      $row[$k] = nl2br($v);
  }

  // echo the output
  echo("<p class='pagetitle'><strong>" . $row[1] . "</strong></p>");       
  echo("<p>" . $row[2] . "<br>");
  echo("<p>" . $row[3] . "<br>");                              }
  echo("</p>");
?>[/code]

Also, as someone suggested nl2br() in a post further up, it's normally customary to investigate the [url=http://uk.php.net/manual/en/function.nl2br.php]manual for that function[/url] and then post your code with what you've attempted based on what you learned from the manual :)
