AW: [PHP] MORE QUESTION - Editing Database
Hi Dani, i do prefer using a database. I think it is the most dynamic way for creating and (important !!!) managing a website. Preformatted text isn't a problem with a database.

Re: AW: AW: [PHP] MORE QUESTION - Editing Database
Hi ! How do I allow HTML entries into my database? I tried to insert a pre-formated text into my database. When I pull the data out and put it in a text field the formating is still there, HOWEVER when I retrive the record from the database using echo all the text formating is gone and it became just a straigh line. What function should I use in this case??? Could anybody please help? Thank you! Dani Hi Dani, For sure you can use a database. There are two ways of using your pr formatted text. 1)Allow HTML-entries for your database. Because the bullets you have used in your mail are from a list-tag (li/li), arent they? By that way you the user has two know HTML. 2)Use simple entries. For example: Instead of the bullets you have used, just use - as prefix for your list-item. Dont use HTML-tags! Putting into the database is very easy. Because it doesnt matter if theres any whitespace in the entry. In my opinion you should use as type something like tinytext or text (MySQL !!!). The text-type allows entries with a size of about 65.000 bytes (65.000 letters !!). I hope I could help you again. Bye, Marcel P.S.: Sorry for my bad english, but the last time I really needed it was in school (about 7 years ago !!!) -Ursprüngliche Nachricht- Von: Dani [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Gesendet: Donnerstag, 10.

I'm not sure that we can still preserved the format of the text when we try to insert it back to database. so...is it still possible Should I use BLOB as the type of the data in my database or ..
