Hi.

  I need to input a text in a textarea that looks like that when typed:

"

Sentence that is here.

 

    Sentence that is two lines under the first and and aligned more right.

"

And when i printed it it looks like that

"

Sentence that is here. Sentence that is two lines under the first and and aligned more right.

"

I am a learning now and i don't know moderate amount of php functions so please give me an sugestions.

Can you be a little more clear please? You want to merge the text? Or you just like nice colors in your text areas?

 

Other than that

 

<?php

$string = 'Sentence that is here. <br>

     Sentence that is two lines under the first and and aligned more right.';

$string = str_replace("<br>","",$string);


?>

No i mean that i type the text like the fist one but when i print it looks like i typed the sentences one after another .. only looks the same when i print it in a <textarea> 

[trq]

<?php

  echo "<pre>" . $_POST['textarea'] . "</pre>";

?>

use

 

<?php

echo nl2br($text);

?>

 

it converts all news lines to <br>

<?php
$string = 'Sentence that is here. \n\n \tSentence that is two lines under the first and and aligned more right.';

echo nl2br($string);
?>

 

The \n\n will be turned to <br><br> thus giving you two lines lower, and no one has mentioned the indenting yet so the \t is equivelent to a press of the tab key, thus it indents it to the right slightly.
