mysqli_reql_escape_string($from_textarea)

[kevinkorb]

From a text area when I use
$myData = mysqli_real_escape_string($myData);

It converts all my line breaks to actual text '\r\n'

Any way to prevent this or recover from this.

do I really have to run my data through
[code=php:0]
$string = str_replace('\r\n', '
', $string);
[/code]

Errr....not sure if there is another way of doing it, but I don't see anything wrong with running it through the str_replace() function.
