[SOLVED] Including line breaks

[smc]

Hello,

In making my CMS I discovered that when I try to submit a textfield it will not carry in the line breaks (ie. Return Lines, Enter Lines, Paragraph lines). How can I make it so the script will translate the line brakes into <br>?

Thanks!!

is it from a text area? if so, it stores the returns as new lines. php has a built in function, nl2br() that will convert those new lines to html breaks <br />

Yup that did it, thanks!

I just encountered a new kind of problem associated with it.

Is there any way to convert tabs into readable references?

You could replace the tabs with a certain number of non=breakable spaces, but you may not like the results.
[code]<?php
$str = str_replace("\t",'&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;',$str);
?>[/code]

The bigger question is why are you using the tab characters for formatting?
