Still haven't figured it out...
I have read several entries about preserving line breaks when displaying
text from a mySQL database, but I have had no success.
How would I prevent data in a single field containing line breaks from being
displayed in HTML as a single line?
For example:
A person fills out a form with this information:
"My name is Chris.
I like to swim."
Ho do I prevent PHP from writing it as
"My name is ChrisI like to swim." ???
I have tried a EREG_REPLACE and PREG_REPLACE attempting to replace "\n" with
<BR>, but it doesn't seem to do the trick.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
