[SOLVED] Display text with breaks

[noobstar]

Hi, im tring to get this to work however, im unsure how to.

 

When you type lets say this into a textarea box and save it into a variable:

 

This is a test

 

1

 

2

 

3

 

And when you display it through echo it will just show this in a straight line i.e. This is a test 1 2 3.

 

My question is is there a way to retain the breaks inbetween just the way its written in the textarea box ?

 

 

Thanks again

<?php

$text = nl2br('This is a test

 

1

 

2

 

3');

echo $text;

?>

My pleasure. Figuring out other peoples problems with php is like a game I play when I'm bored. Keeps me fresh with the php knowledge.
