[PHP] Re: BREAK into the DB

[Blue Presley]

the function you are looking for is called nl2br().  Translated it means
'new line to BR.'  when you pull you text from your database run it
through this and it will be correctly formatted for HTML to read correctly.
See php documentation for further discussion and examples.

Hi all. I have this DB where I'm storing this sometimes large amount of
text into a TEXT field, but I can't seem to find the way to BREAK lines
so it won't make my browser go 3000 pixels wide when that text is
printed. About this, I have two questions:

1) What should I use to break the text into lines at the DB so HTML can
read them fine? and
2) How should I make the TEXT INPUT BOX so the visitor doesn't have to
type br or something after 20 words or so? Is there a way that PHP can
count and break text strings by itself prior storing?

Thanks in advance,

[PHP] checkboxes / form elements

[Blue Presley]

Hello.  I have a form that I would like to use checkboxes.  these checkboxes
are created dynamically.  I've been told that if I want to manipulate each
one then I should use 'name=checkbox[]' and make an array out of it.  okay,
fine.  but how do i access them in my PHP script? I know I have to use the
$_POST[] array, but this creates a multidiminsional array, yes? do i access
it like $_POST[checkbox[1]]?? or $_POST[checkbox][1]??

any info is appreciated.

thanks,
blue
