in my form i'm accepting news text from user. (user has to copy news from other sites and paste it in that field in the form) then i insert it in database. when i retrieve it and display again, i want it should be printed along with formatting which was in the original news that user had pasted. if it sounds much complicated stuff for text color,size or other enhancement, it should work atleast for paraghaps and indentations, so that the whole news should be readable.
would like to know more abt a data-parser which u have mentioned. is there any other possible suggestion for this? thnx and regards, smita. >From: Dejan Rajic Reply-To: Dejan Rajic To: "Smita Manohar" CC: >[EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [PHP-DB] how to store formated text in >database Date: Mon, 19 Aug 2002 07:20:51 +0200 > >This is CorpseEater's reply on your message send to him on 8/19/2002 : > >Well, there has been a lot of talk on this list about whether you should >put anything into the database except the data it self - and i don't think >you should.
