tobeyt23 Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 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)) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadTechie Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
