I am taken an article from one MySQL DB table into another. The current records have \r\n in it, once I insert into in table I am losing them. How can I keep from losing them this is what i am current doing on them:

 

addslashes(htmlspecialchars($article))

your probably not lossing them.. but to display them you need to convert new lines 2 breaks

ie

<?php
$article = "testing \r\ndata";
$article = addslashes(htmlspecialchars($article));
echo nl2br($article);
?>

 

if you do "echo $articlel;" instead of "echo nl2br($article);" and view source your probably see their are on different lines.. but not formatted to be on different lines.. thus you need to convert newline to break ;)

 

Hope this helps
