can anyone help me with this please?

[artisan]

Hey,

 

i recently decided to code an extreamly simple php cms which i can use on any websites i make. so far i have made an input form, a procesing page, a flat file, and an index with an explode function which shows the last 5 posts newest to oldest.

 

all of it works up to a point. the problem i have come accross is that when you fill in the message part of the form if you press enter to give a new paragraph it creates a new line on the flat file which the script then thinks is a new line of arrays which makes each new paragraph a new post adding it above its proper post...

 

you can see my script work in progress here.

i wonder if its possible to somehow stop the line break in the textarea counting as one in the flatfile.... or even better if i can replace it with a < br> tag so it shows as a new paragraph.

 

any help please?

many thanks

That should get you what you want.

 

Or to go to the paragraph tag:

 

$data = str_replace("\n", '<p>', $data);

 

Should also work.

where will the </p> be inserted? just a question

look nl2br() function

Unless you want to be "well-formed" html does not require a < /p> Something I learned along time ago. If you want to be well formed, this doubles the space but you can do < p>< /p> instead of just the < p> in the str_replace function.
