Detecting the end of a line.

[JParishy]

I am currently writing a blog (You can find it at http://dev.jparishy.com/). When you post, it does not recognize the end of a line, so:

 

Hello,

My Name Is Julius,

How are you?

..

Becomes

..

Hello,My Name Is Julius,How are you?

 

I tried,

$message = str_replace("\n", "<br>", $message);

 

because everything echo'd is rendered as html, and this worked. But, when you go to edit a post, it keeps on adding the "<br_>'s." (<-HTML is active )

 

So,

Hello,

 

how are you?

 

What is your name?

 

would be:

Hello,

 

 

how are you?

 

 

What is your name?

 

And it will continue to seperate the lines each time you edit the file. I could just neglect to do,

$message = str_replace("\n", "<br>", $message);

when editing, but then any new lines will not be seperated.

 

Overall, my question is, are there any functions/special variables (like 'EOF' in C) that will work on lines (not in a file) to see if it is the end of a line? I hope you know what I mean.

 

Thank you.

what if you used

$message = str_replace("\n", "<br>", $message);

for displaying the message but use

$message = str_replace("<br>", "\n", $message);

just before the editing screen

 

also you can use

nl2br — Inserts HTML line breaks before all newlines in a string
Description
string nl2br ( string $string )

Returns string with '<br />' inserted before all newlines.

 

 

 

LOL ok added some code tags to my post

Ahh, ok. I'll try it out.

Use nl2br when displaying the data. Leave the data in its natural state when saving it to the database though.

Okay, thanks guys. It works now. So what did you think? This is my first PHP project.
