graham23s Posted May 8, 2007 Share Posted May 8, 2007 Hi Guys, i have noticed that when a user is typing in a form, when they do a line break line 1 line 2 line 3 it displays as line 1rn line 2rn line 3rn, i did this: $comments = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST["comments"]); $comments = stripslashes($comments); not sure if i have done that right it stll displays the same and advice would be great cheers Graham Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/50471-solved-line-breaks-in-forms-as-rn/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thierry Posted May 8, 2007 Share Posted May 8, 2007 Hmm, a newline is made with \r\n, I'm geussing that you are removing the slashes from it. For textareas and such, \r\n is used, but for showing it otherwise you can use <br>. Try: $comments = str_replace("\r\n","<br>"); Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/50471-solved-line-breaks-in-forms-as-rn/#findComment-247979 Share on other sites More sharing options...
