Re: [PHP-DB] how to format the output of the text info that user uploaded?

How am I able to show the formatted outputs? I tried to use pre /pre, but it didn't work well. I suspect that those tags are the problem, because you are telling the browser that this output has been formatted already. Try using p .. /p and let the browser format the text. That way any \n, extra spaces etc will just be ignored. Any suggestions? Thank you! Bo -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

It sounds like you want to use the nl2br() function. That will convert the new lines to HTML line breaks and give you the paragraphs that the user put in.
