Currently I am using a standard <TEXTAREA></TEXTAREA> field for information input to the MySQL database. When I display the allready information in the text fields to allow the user to manipulte the information, the formatting includes any carrige returns that have been entered. However when I display the text using the mysql_fetch_array the returns are no more, and instead are only displayed as a single space between the next word. I know this is due to the way that HTML reads whitespace, but how can I force the formatting of the text so it is displayed how the user intended. I have tried to use ADDSLASHES() to reformatt the variables befofe entering them into the tables, but I am unsure if this is the right method. And if so, how can I convert the \n to <br>? I am not sure if this is a question that I should be asking to this maillist or not, but I thought I would give it a shot.
