You want to look at nl2br() function.
It takes newlines from a text like:
Hello
My name is
Aaron
Which when outputted normally would look like:
Hello my name is aaron
Using echo nl2br($dbquery); would produce:
Hellobrbr
My name isbrbr
Aaronbrbr
In your HTML code which then would output in a browse like the above.
Aaron

Subject: [PHP-DB] [mysql - php] Newline to BR problem
I'm trying to place a text from a textfield into a database and
displaying
it on another page. All works fine and well but my problem is:
If i place newline characters (press enter) in the forms textfield they
don't show up on my display page. This is logical because newlines are
not
br codes. So i must replace the newline thingies with br code.
Should
this be done BEFORE i put the text in the database or AFTER i put the
text
in the database and what functions can i use
Maybe it's a newbie question but it's on my mind for a few days now and
i
haven't found an answer yet, thanx!
