He!
It's very simple! When you've a <textarea name="text"></textarea>, and want
per example to insert it into the database, use the PHP function nl2br() at
the moment after select and print the data.
So, it will be:
- first insert the $text into the database
- SELECT text FROM XXX et. etc.
- $text = nl2br($text); (PHP inserts <br>'s into $text)
- print($text);
You can also directly use the function nl2br and print the string after
submitting the form!
Ready!
Simple, isn't???
