RE: [PHP] multiple line text area
I need to be able to preserve line breaks when a user types in multiple lines in a multitple line test area. Right now if I echo $_POST['textarea'] I get everything on one line. Is there any way to do this? Thanks! -Greg www.php.net/nl2br ---John W. Holmes... PHP Architect - A monthly magazine for PHP Professionals.

Re: [PHP] multiple line text area
That would work, only I need to copy this text to a file without the /br in it. -Greg John W.

RE: [PHP] multiple line text area
The newlines are preserved. Do a view source of your page where you're displaying it and you'll see what I'm talking about. HTML just doesn't render newlines, only br. If you're seeing something different, then show your code and explain this more. ---John W. Holmes... PHP Architect - A monthly magazine for PHP Professionals.
