Hi,
You could put "\n" where you want the new line.
Than if you want to output the text field in HTML you could use nl2br() to
replace the new line characters with <br>
For example take a look at this INSERT query:
$sql= "INSERT INTO table_name (text_field,...other_fields) VALUES ('first
row\nsecond row',...other_values)";
Hope this helps
