RE: [PHP-DB] mysql_real_escape_string for HTML <p>???

Hi Ron Use nl2br()...its adds in <br /> tags. The other option is to use str_rplace and replace the characters with ones of your choice bastien

Date: Sat, 5 Mar 2005 23:21:14 -0500 I know of the $variable = mysql_real_escape_string($variable); It works just nicely to allow some of the wild cards to be saved to a mySQL table. Is there something like this for HTML that when you retrieve from a variable in the table an ENTER would be converted to <P> I am mainly talking about when the variable is defined as "longtext" and you are expecting the user to write a few sentences or where they may s/he may press ENTER to start a new line.
