Well, here's what I got, since I put the data into the table directly it had no extra slashes so it looked like this '\n' , but when retrieving it i ended up with '\\n'. I would have expected stripSlashes to work but that turned them into 'n'. Here's what I did as a workaround:
function strip($string){ $string = str_replace("\\n","\n", $string); return $string; } believe it or not, this works when stripSlashes does not. Anyone know why? <>< Ryan "Ryan Jameson (USA)" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> said: > Hi guys, maybe I'm missing something silly but when I retrieve a string from my SQL server with '\n' in it, they are displayed literally instead of as line breaks.
