[SOLVED] multiple lines in db

[chocopi]

when i store a message in my db i use nl2br() which puts into the database as i would expect (with the message with its new lines intact). but when i select the message from the database it only takes the top line and deletes the rest. I have it stored in the database as varchar(255)

 

I have now changed it from varchar to text, but now nothing is showing up

 

I have it sorted now, but i am unuse why it didnt work ???

 

Thanks,
