phpSensei Posted August 24, 2007 Author Share Posted August 24, 2007 Trouble is, When you insert a normal text area on your page and you type in something like text: "TextTextTextTextTextTextTextTextTextTextTextTextTextTextText TextTextTextTextTextTextTextTextTextTextTextTextTextTextTextText TextTextTextTextTextTextTextTextTextTextTextTextTextTextTextTextTextTextTextText TextTextTextTextTextTextTextTextTextTextTextTextText TextTextTextTextTextTextTextTextTextTextTextTextTextTextText" You can the line break between paragraph one and paragraph two, but when you put this data into your mysql database, that break is gone. Therefor the text would be stuck together... How do you make it so it turns that empty space into a <br> or New line Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/66421-solved-preg-match-problem/#findComment-332545 Share on other sites More sharing options...

hitman6003 Posted August 24, 2007 Share Posted August 24, 2007 I think we should all recommend nl2br again. Also, br2nl isn't a (predefined/builtin) function Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/66421-solved-preg-match-problem/#findComment-332557 Share on other sites More sharing options...
