Re: newlines in <textarea> boxes..

He! It's very simple! When you've a <textarea name="text"></textarea>, and want per example to insert it into the database, use the PHP function nl2br() at the moment after select and print the data. So, it will be: - first insert the $text into the database - SELECT text FROM XXX et. etc. - $text = nl2br($text); (PHP inserts <br>'s into $text) - print($text); You can also directly use the function nl2br and print the string after submitting the form! Ready! Simple, isn't???
