And there is probably no value, apart from saving characters in your source, to translate a pair of <BR> to <P>. In fact, it might have unexpected effects if you hapen to display the output inside of a closed <P> block. So, $mydata->KW = nl2br($mydata->KW); Depending on how this data is being used, you might prefer to do the translation before display rather than storing html in your database. For instance, if the data is to be edited, embedded html may be confusing, depending on the level of knowledge of the person editing. In respect of htmlspecialchars, recall that symbols like < and> have special functions in html - they signal the start and end of html tags. So if you actually want to use a < or > in your text, you should use the special symbol > (note the special use of the ampersand here!) htmlspecialchars will perform the translations for you. -- David Robley Temporary Kiwi -- PHP General Mailing List (<A HREF="http://www.php.net/">http://www.php.net/</A>) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] </pre> </div> <div class="msgButtons margintopdouble"> <ul class="overflow"> <li class="msgButtonItems"><a class="button buttonleft " accesskey="p" href="msg46633.html">Previous message</a></li> <li class="msgButtonItems textaligncenter"><a class="button" accesskey="c" href="index.html#46781">View by thread</a></li> <li class="msgButtonItems textaligncenter"><a class="button" accesskey="i" href="maillist.html#46781">View by date</a></li> <li class="msgButtonItems textalignright"><a class="button buttonright " accesskey="n" href="msg46643.html">Next message</a></li> </ul> </div> <a name="tslice"></a> <div class="tSliceList margintopdouble"> <ul class="icons monospace"> <li class="icons-email"><span class="subject"><a href="msg46633.html">[PHP] <textarea></a></span> <span class="sender italic">jtjohnston</span></li> <li><ul> <li class="icons-email tSliceCur"><span class="subject"></span> <span class="sender italic">David Robley</span></li> </ul> </ul> </div> <div class="overflow msgActions margintopdouble"> <div class="msgReply" > <h2> Reply via email to </h2> <form method="POST" action="/mailto.php"> <input type="hidden" name="subject" value="[PHP] Re: <textarea>"> <input type="hidden" name="msgid" value="Xns919DB046F7906robleydparadisenetnz@216.92.131.4"> <input type="hidden" name="relpath" value="php-general@lists.php.net/msg46781.html"> <input type="submit" value=" David Robley "> </form> </div> </div> </div> <div class="aside" role="complementary"> <div class="logo"> <a href="/"><img src="/logo.png" width=247 height=88 alt="The Mail Archive"></a> </div> <form class="overflow" action="/search" method="get"> <input type="hidden" name="l" value="php-general@lists.php.net"> <label class="hidden" for="q">Search the site</label> <input class="submittext" type="text" id="q" name="q" placeholder="Search php-general"> <input class="submitbutton" name="submit" type="image" src="/submit.png" alt="Submit"> </form> <div class="nav margintop" id="nav" role="navigation"> <ul class="icons font16"> <li class="icons-home"><a href="/">The Mail Archive home</a></li> <li class="icons-list"><a href="/php-general@lists.php.net/">php-general - all messages</a></li> <li class="icons-about"><a href="/php-general@lists.php.net/info.html">php-general - about the list</a></li> <li class="icons-expand"><a href="/search?l=php-general@lists.php.net&q=subject:%22%5C%5BPHP%5C%5D+Re%5C%3A+%3Ctextarea%3E%22&o=newest&f=1" title="e" id="e">Expand</a></li> <li class="icons-prev"><a href="msg46633.html" title="p">Previous message</a></li> <li class="icons-next"><a href="msg46643.html" title="n">Next message</a></li> </ul> </div> <div class="listlogo margintopdouble"> <a href="#"><img src="/php-general@lists.php.net/logo.png" alt="php-general"></a> </div> <div class="margintopdouble"> </div> </div> </div> <div class="footer" role="contentinfo"> <ul> <li><a href="/">The Mail Archive home</a></li> <li><a href="/faq.html#newlist">Add your mailing list</a></li> <li><a href="/faq.html">FAQ</a></li> <li><a href="/faq.html#support">Support</a></li> <li><a href="/faq.html#privacy">Privacy</a></li> <li class="darkgray">Xns919DB046F7906robleydparadisenetnz@216.92.131.4</li> </ul> </div> </body> </html>
