Re: [PHP] textarea new line to mysql database
Well, its not exactly a 'problem' at all. The textarea just does what its meant to do - accept raw text input and lets you process it via form action. This is neither a PHP or a HTML 'problem'. The reason you cannot see the line breaks when you echo the text on your browser is the fact that the browser does not recognize '\n' as a line break; it only recognizes 'br /'. Coming to the pre tag, pre stands for preformatted; it tells the browser to output the text in the raw format as it is. Hence it displays properly. -Sterex On Fri, May 15, 2009 at 7:54 PM, PHPScriptor cont...@phpscriptor.comwrote: Yes, I thought about that.

Re: [PHP] textarea new line to mysql database
@Robert: True. I was assuming that the text was going to be final and not being edited again. @PHPScriptor: If you do have a lot of textareas to work around with, why don't you give TinyMCE a try. Thats the best option you have got. It replaces the textarea into more of a html compatible one and when you are editing the text again, it will be properly formatted. You'll also get toolbars for text editing etc., more like your mail compose window right now. :) -Sterex On Fri, May 15, 2009 at 7:56 PM, Robert Cummings rob...@interjinn.comwrote: On Fri, 2009-05-15 at 19:48 +0530, Manoj Sterex wrote: Well, instead of storing the text from the textarea directly into the db, validate it and wrap it with br / tags (replace \n) and then store it.

Trust me when I say in the grand scheme of things a call to nl2br is extremely cheap so I really wouldn't worry about how much you use it. If you don't know whether you're using a input field or a textarea I really think you need to examine your code carefully before proceeding. If you know to spit out a textarea then you know it's a textarea. Or maybe I'm missing something. The reason this problem exists is due to HTML compressing concurrent white space into a single space. This can be a very useful feature but is not immediately obvious to newcomers. If you're not familiar with HTML I suggest you put PHP down for a while and have a play with pure HTML - it'll be time well-invested. -Stuart -- http://stut.net/ Stuart-47 wrote: 2009/5/15 PHPScriptor cont...@phpscriptor.com: Hello, How do you guys handle this problem.

Hello,
How do you guys handle this problem.
Just a form with a textarea. When I use enters in the textarea it's saved to
the db like this:
database:
first line
second line
when I edit the value in the form:
first line
second line
when I output the value to html:
first linesecond line (unless I use nl2br())
Is there a way that I could save it to the db that will work for db, output
and edit without using any other function like nl2br?
I run all text area through a filter that removes the carriage return [
preg_replace('/\r/','',$input) ] and save it in the database with any
newline characters.
When calling data from the database, I can then use newline as a
delimiter for explode generate an array where each element of the array
is a distinct line of text - and then do whatever I want with the lines.
Effectively what I usually do is the same thing as nl2br - but since I
do everything in DOMDocument I have to do it myself (create text nodes
for each array element and create break nodes between them).
If I'm going to a pre field or back to a text area (IE to edit the data)
then I don't have to do anything.
I do NOT recommend running nl2br before it goes into the database - as
that means you may have to convert the breaks when re-using the data
elsewhere, and the proper way to make a break depends upon the output
type (IE br for html or br / for xhtml, etc.) - so keep the newline
character in the database and convert to what you need when you call the
data from the database.
