ifis Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 I am trying to set up a simple blog. I have a textarea where people can input their thoughts, but when I process the input through the programming it all of the spacing, most importantly the paragraph spacing is removed. I want to be able to find areas in the text where there are multiple spaces and then replace those with a </p><p>. $correctarticle=preg_replace(' ++',</p><p>,$_POST['Article']); this is not working. Any ideas? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ifis Posted February 9, 2008 Author Share Posted February 9, 2008 I'm still trying to figure out how to implement it. I tried 2 different ways and it is not working. Here is what I tried. $Article=(remove_headers($_POST['Article'])); $Article= nl2br($Article); echo "$article"; and article=$_POST['Article']; echo nl2br("$article"); any ideas?
