[SOLVED] echo multi-line textbox variable

[dkirk]

I have a form that allows users to enter notes into a large textbox. After the form is submitted, the contents of the textbox are echoed out into a report. Below is an example of an entry:

 

These are my notes.

These notes doe not make any sense

but it gets the point across.

 

When I echo out this entry as a variable, the entry looks like this:

 

These are my notes. These notes doe not make any sense but it gets the point across.

 

I need to keep all of the notes just as they were entered on multiple lines. Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this?

Use nl2br()

www.php.net/nl2br

 

[sasa]

use nl2br() function

try

<?php
$a='These are my notes.
These notes doe not make any sense
but it gets the point across.
';
echo nl2br($a)
?>
