nl2br() help

[Blekk]

Hi,

 

I have looked through this forum using force, but I couldn't really find anything that was a lot like my problem.

 

I have created a little website for me and my friends working on a project. I have a little message board thing going on, where you just login, enter the subject and message and it is entered into the MySQL database. This works fine, but the message (which is a textarea when inputting data) comes out all on one line with just spaces inbetween words where there should be new lines.

 

I have looked at nl2br, and so have used it to output the data so that:

 

print nl2br($message);

 

as the data in the MySQL field has new lines in it, but this doesn't seem to work.

 

What is the problem?

 

Thanks,

 

Any reply is appreciated.
