PHP printing on one line

[tomhoad]

I can't seem to search the forums at the moment, so apologies if there is another thread addressing my problem.

 

 

According to phpMyAdmin, the text from a text box is being stored correctly, line breaks 'n' all.

 

However, upon echoing the data, the "content" is printed on one line.

 

<?php 

include 'secure/config.php'; 
include 'secure/opendb.php'; 

$query   = "SELECT id, title, content, FROM_UNIXTIME(date, '%W %D %M %Y at %h:%i %p') as dttm 
FROM news ORDER BY id DESC LIMIT 3"; 

$result  = mysql_query($query) or die('Error : ' . mysql_error()); 
while ($row     = mysql_fetch_array($result, MYSQL_ASSOC)) { 

$title   = $row['title']; 
$content   = $row['content'];
$dttm   = $row['dttm'];

echo stripslashes (
'
<p class="news-header">'.$title.'</p>
<p class="news-body">'.$content.'</p>
<p class="news-footer">Posted on: '.$dttm.'</p>
<br>
'
);    

}

?>

 

What have I missed out?

 

thank you

Try using nl2br($content). It will convert your line breaks to <br> so that they display correctly in web browsers. (Remember html doesn't care about line breaks themselves)

SOLVED.
