One approach is to ask the user to input a text delimiter, like a "@", for example, in every point where there should be a new line or paragraph. Then, you should parse the text, and at every point you find a "@", tu place a "<BR>" or "<P>" or any other HTML tag that best suits your need!!
This is just one solution, but I'm pretty sure there others!!

My question is how do I make it so that the html formatting is automatically done. For example when someone is typing something, and wants to start a new paragraph although they press return when typing when the data is displayed from the MySQL database on a website it's just continuous text. For it to start a new paragraph they have to put <p> in when they are typing in this box. They do not know all the html formatting codes, and so I need someway of making so that it is easy for them to have formatted text without doing all the html. Also things like changing colours, bold, italic and things would be good. Something like on forums, where when you enter a new post you have all the formatting options. Hope this makes sense, Regards, Alex. -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php Este mensaje es exclusivamente para el uso de la persona o entidad a quien esta dirigido; contiene informacion estrictamente confidencial y legalmente protegida, cuya divulgacion es sancionada por la ley.
