Re: Re: how to format the output of the text info that user uploaded?

If the method they use to "upload" involves pasting the text into an HTML textbox, I usually do this: replace all occurances of \n with <br>. Look into the ereg_replace() function in the manual or at php.net for more info, but that is some limited formatting. If you need further formatting, like someone else pointed out, you'll need to post more info. --- David Robley <robleyd@paradise.net.nz> wrote: > In article > <20020818202235.19639.qmail@pb1.pair.com>, > bo1st@hotmail.com > says... > > I have a field in a form which allows user to > upload thier biographys.Once > > they upload a bunch of texts,the script I wrote > automatically show it on a > > webpage, however, the contents are all scrambled > toghther without line break > > and formatting.. > > How am I able to show the formatted outputs? > > > > I tried to use <pre> </pre>, but it didn't work > well. > > > > Any suggestions? > > For linebreaks, see nl2br().
