> Hi All:

> I need to print out several paragraphs of information stored

> $db = mysql_connect("localhost", "dbase", "password");
> mysql_select_db("dbase",$db); $sql = "SELECT update FROM
> members WHERE username = 'Don'"; $query = mysql_query($sql);
> $results = mysql_fetch_array($query); $text = $results["update"];
>
echo nl2br($text);
>
> but it does not insert the returns between the paragraphs. I
> think I need
> to tell it to insert a <p> in place of the return. There is a
> way to do
> this as I have seen it on the PHP site when I was searching
> for something
> else. Of course now that I need it I can't find the example.
> Can someone
> please help me figure this out?
