corkg Posted July 28, 2007 Share Posted July 28, 2007 Hi I have a simple textarea box which when you click on submit saves the content, but unfortunatly it does not save paragraphs, so this; "hi hi hi" would look like this; "hi hi hi" in the database it looks like this; "hi hi hi" any ideas on how to get this to work it is something to do with the code which gets the post.

wildteen88 Posted July 28, 2007 Share Posted July 28, 2007 nl2br is a function which converts newlines into a HTML line break (<br>. You will need to use this function when you go to display the data stored in your database. Web browsers (eg, Internet Explorer, Firefox etc) ignore newlines this why when you type something like this into a textarea: some text with newlines in And then you go to display it the page will appear a bit like this: some textwith newlinesin EDIT: Didn't see you second post.
