[PHP] Text and formating
I have news webpage of sorts that pulls entries out of a mysql database. There is a form to submit news and it is automatically added to the new page upon submition. What I am wandering is when a individual submits news, the end result on my news page does not hold the same format it was put in. For example. IN the "add news form" they enter the info in like this: -- This is a test. How are you today. Laddi da, Laddi da -- The output on the news page comes as: This is a test. How are you today.Laddi da, Laddi da Is there a way between php and mysql to ensure that format of the date is same going in and out?

You need to do a str_replace() on any fields that need to have breaks in
them. Try something like this:
echo str_replace ("\n", "BR", $fieldvariable)

or you could just call the nl2br() function to do the same thing...
