RE: [PHP] make hitting enter in a text box = br
when the data gets to php, do a $str = str_replace(\n, br, $str); (not tested, but should work) HTH Martin -Original Message- From: Rob Packer [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, May 14, 2002 2:33 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [PHP] make hitting enter in a text box = br I have a simple script for a newsletter, with a text area box for someone to type in their newsletter. Is it possible to make it so when someone hits enter with the text box it will equal br?

RE: [PHP] make hitting enter in a text box = br
Or you could use nl2br(), which is what the function was designed for. Use it only when you echo the data to the browser, not when you store it to a database. Also note that there is a slight difference. nl2br() will leave the \n in there and _add_ a BR. The str_replace() example will, umm, replace the \n with a br. ---John Holmes... -Original Message- From: Martin Towell [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, May 13, 2002 9:47 PM To: 'Rob Packer'; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [PHP] make hitting enter in a text box = br when the data gets to php, do a $str = str_replace(\n, br, $str); (not tested, but should work) HTH Martin -Original Message- From: Rob Packer [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, May 14, 2002 2:33 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [PHP] make hitting enter in a text box = br I have a simple script for a newsletter, with a text area box for someone to type in their newsletter.
