Hi Ian,

Have you tried to use the  nl2br-function,
which converts (OS) newline breaks, to br
HTML-tags?

You can find an exact description in the php doc.

Bye,

   Jochen

 select the test field, the display is same as above. But, when I used PHP
 coding to select the test field and display it in HTML page, output likes,

 How to display $test in the requested format?

 Thanks in advance.

You could try using the nl2br function, thus converting all newline
characters to BR tags.
