Hello Panos,

Looks like a textarea or is a textarea. Two different things. If you
want it to look like a textarea, do something like:

<div style="border-style: solid; border-width: 1px;"><?php echo $text;?></div>


Although I prefer to use inset borders like:
<div style="border-style: inset;"><?php echo $text;?></div>

Play with css padding till you like it.

If it is a texarea, then do something like this:
echo '<textarea rows="10" cols="50">' . $original_text . '</textarea>';

You might need one or more of the following depending on what you're
displaying:

nl2br()
htmlentities()
htmlspecialchars()

hello. can someone please tell me how to install the mysqli extension for 
windows? I use mysql 4.1, php 4.3.1 and apache 1.3.23. I just upgraded from 
mysql 3.x to 4.1 and now that I have to use the mysqli functions I get the 
error: "Cannot instantiate non-existent class: mysqli"
thank you a lot.
