textarea!!

Hi I've written a guestbook in php user writes a message in a texarea and in the code I insert it in a table and then in showpage I sow it to him.before I insert the message into table , I use addslashes() and htmlspecialchars(). the prblem is that , when I retrieve the message from the table all sentences are after each other , and there's no break!!!! that makes a bad appearance. I mean for example someone write in the texarea as following : -- Hi how r u? what happened there?! -- when I show the message to him the appearance is this way : -- Hi how r u? what happened there?! -- what should I do to show him exactly how he wrote the message? thanx _________________________________________________________________ The new MSN 8: advanced junk mail protection and 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/junkmail
