SkyRanger Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 I am having a problem with the output in php from mysql When somebody posts a message such as: Hello how are you, I am fine. and another para... etc. Well when I pull it back out of mysql to display it shows: Hello how are you,I am fine.and another para...etc. Is there any way I can fix this?

MadTechie Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 i'm not sure if that was the question if it was use nl2br() on the data return'd from the database its quicker Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/47956-solved-problem-with-output/#findComment-234441 Share on other sites More sharing options...

MadTechie Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 use nl2br() if your displaying to the page then html is kinda involved! Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/47956-solved-problem-with-output/#findComment-234478 Share on other sites More sharing options...
