[quote author=mbvo link=topic=110623.msg447539#msg447539 date=1160083675] perfectly, and after posting I've been looking around more on google and playing with my code, and i got it to display all but the first line using a varchar field, and changing it to nl2br($row['description']).  But now my question is why is it now displaying the first line? [/quote] I feel stupid now, I just looked at the source code for the page and the browser is interperting it wrong was my problem.

perfectly, and after posting I've been looking around more on google and playing with my code, and i got it to display all but the first line using a varchar field, and changing it to nl2br($row['description']).  But now my question is why is it now displaying the first line?

my code is: $result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM calendar where num = ".$_GET['num']); $row = mysql_fetch_array($result); . . . echo "<BR><BR>Description:<BR>'".$row['description']."'"; I'm sure it's getting the correct row, because it's displaying other data from it, but it won't display anything from the description filed(which is a blob data type).

How do I read from a blob field?  And is it correct that I would use a text area to write to a blob?  if not what do I write using a text area?

I want a list of all the jpg and gif images in a particular directory, how do i do it?

I'm trying to display data that no one field is required to be unique, so I want to make an automatic field that contains a number.  but there's no auto incriment data type for sql.  what do i do?

Is there some type of application veriable that's shared by all the users on a web site?

Is is possable to instert a column to a table?  if so, how do I do it?

I'm working on a php with apache, and mysql forum at: http://24.136.209.37/forum.php previously I had been using IIS, asp, and access: http://24.136.209.37:82/myasp/default.asp What I want to know is how can I improve how the php one looks.  I'm not working on the asp one for now at all.  I'm just using it as a template.

How do i send an email containing html in the body?

isn't the correct syntax: "SELECT * FROM users WHERE username LIKE BINARY '" . $un . "' AND password = '" . $pw . "'" not: "SELECT * FROM users WHERE username LIKE BINARY '$un' AND password = '$pw'" or will both work?

I don't get this, I downloaded phpass-0.0 and extracted to my htdocs, and ever time i refresh test.php it gives me something differant.  are these the password hashes that would be saved to the database? and if so why do they keep changing and how do i compare 2 hashes that rn't identical?

I'm working on writing a forum and would like to store the passwords as hashes.  is there some function built into php to do so?  or is there a php file i could download containing that function?
