RE: [PHP-DB] Line breaks from a database!
Well, here's what I got, since I put the data into the table directly it had no extra
slashes so it looked like this '\n' , but when retrieving it i ended up with '\\n'. I
would have expected stripSlashes to work but that turned them into 'n'. Here's what I
did as a workaround:
function strip($string){
$string = str_replace(\\n,\n, $string);
return $string;
}
believe it or not, this works when stripSlashes does not. Anyone know why?

Hi guys, maybe I'm missing something silly but when I retrieve a string
from my SQL server with '\n' in it, they are displayed literally instead of
as line breaks. StripSlashes only turns them into 'n'.
Any ideas?

Re: [PHP-DB] line breaks in mySQL text fields
Hi,
You could put \n where you want the new line.
Than if you want to output the text field in HTML you could use nl2br() to
replace the new line characters with br
For example take a look at this INSERT query:
$sql= INSERT INTO table_name (text_field,...other_fields) VALUES ('first
row\nsecond row',...other_values);
Hope this helps

RE: [PHP-DB] Line Breaks
Thanks, I have finally figured out the syntax for nl2br(), which doesn't seem very clear in the manual. I used: $data = nl2br($data); That returns just what I expect. However, now I have to get rid of the all the BRs that I have inserted into my data while I was trying to figure this out.

Re: [PHP-DB] Line breaks in output
Better yet, use "br" for browsers.
Or use Jeff's method but use nl2br function to convert new line to br
echo nl2br($result);

Create a variable to concatenate the item values adding a "\n" character
between them :
$result = $item1."\n".$item2."\n".$item3 ;
.
echo("input name=text value=".$result . "");

Assunto: [PHP-DB] Line breaks in output
Newbie here.
How do I get line breaks in output from a database?
I have a list of things in a file, like: item1``item2``item3 (etc)
I want them displyed in a textarea as:
item1
item2
item3
Probably very simple, haven't got that far in my book yet.
