[SOLVED] how to dispay crlf?

[coderb]

Hi All,

 

Have a question, probably quite simple but need help please.

I have a database text column containing sentences with line breaks (crlf). When used in an input field type=textarea, the line breaks are displayed correctly. But when I echo that value a table as follows :

echo '<td>'.$rowSQL['mycontent'].'</td>';

 

it loses the line breaks. How do I keep the crlfs?

 

thanks,

I didnt fully understand you question "it loses the line breaks. How do I keep the crlfs?"

see code below:

 

echo '<td>'.nl2br($rowSQL['mycontent']).'</td>';

Hi, thanks you answered my question.

Apologies for the unclear description - I used the term 'line breaks' and 'crlf' reffering to the same thing.

 

thanks for the help.
