Angelo >>> "Jay Blanchard" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 11/18/2004 4:46:36 PM >>> [snip] However when I want to display this field in HTML I have a problem that its all bunched into 1 paragraph, obviously because there are no <p> or <br> tags telling the browser there is a space in between, 1 way to get this to work is to to insert <p> or <br> statements in the paragraph but when the user then edits the paragraph in the textarea it will show the <p> or <br> tags which i dont want, they are end users and will probably delete them. Is there a way to get around this?? either displaying the blank line or by hiding the HTML tags in the textarea (but still saving the paragraph with them in) [/snip] Have a look at TFM http://www.php.net/nl2br -------------------------------------------------------------------- Disclaimer This e-mail transmission contains confidential information, which is the property of the sender.
