Re: Can't get rid of newlines

My appologies, that e-mail should have gone: I'm trying to a some data from a <textarea> form element to an mSQL database. However, mSQL coughs shortly after the first newline. So, I did nl2br() to put all the newlines to <br>'s and then tried the following: $description=str_replace("\n"," ",$description); to get rid of the newlines. BUT! this string replace did absolutely nothing and the newlines are still in there! WHY? Thanks Louis ----- Original Message ----- From: Martin A.
