Onderwerp: [PHP] Newbie Question
Urgentie: Hoog


Ok, I am still fairly new at PHP and MySQL also, so please bear with me.


TASK: I have a client that wants to have job openings listed on their site 
and they want to be able to add, edit and delete the postings themselves. I 
would do this in flat-file format but there is the risk of that file size 
getting too large and slowing down the server.


SOLUTION: I have created a MySQL database that will hold all the postings 
in a table called 'jobs' and have created a PHP form that will post this 
jobs into the db.

PROBLEM: When I go to the PHP form and enter all of the pertinent job 
information, there is one specific field that will have to have carriage 
returns/line breaks in it between paragraphs. Everything is working except 
for this. Is there a way whenever the user presses <ENTER>, that either 
PHP/MySQL will convert this into a <BR> tag only when being displayed in a 
browser and not in the db??


Can anyone out there please help me with this? I am available off-list as 
well if it will be easier to pass code back and forth. Any assistance is 
greatly appreciated!
