maxudaskin Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 I made a posting page that gets text from a Text Area but when I call the variable for the text, I end up loosing all of the new lines made with the enter key. Is there a way around this? The variable keeps the new line, but when echoing it, it ignores the new line. For Example: <?php $text = "Hello This is two lines down!"; ?> Would echo Hello This is two lines down!
