[SOLVED] Al the "enters" are gone, results show on the same line !!!

[npsari]

I have a Text area

 

users type text on it, then click submit

 

The text is saved in the database

 

But all the "Enters" are gone!

 

i.e. when the user clicks enter to go to the next line, this, doesnt show when I echo the Text from the database

 

it all shows in the same line

 

Why is this happening

[MadTechie]

without seeing any code i would guess you did something thing wrong

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

try nl2br($data)

[npsari]

I use the normal retreive code

 

echo $row['Description'];

 

and all the enters are gone

 

 

try nl2br($data) <--- what is this, is it the retreive code?

[anthylon]

nl2br = new line to

<br>

. All enters should be converted to html tag

<br> 

= new line.

 

using nl2br()
<?php
echo nl2br("foo isn't\n bar");
?>  

this will output : 

foo isn't<br />
bar

The function nl2br() inserts a "<br />" tag before each newline character in a string, so you want to do:

<?php
echo nl2br($row['Description']);
?>
