Re: textarea new line

Sorry, you DO need nl's, but it's \n not n\ PHPCoder wrote:

When you echo, you are adding to HTML, so you need <br> for new lines not \n. There is a function called nl2br that converts the nl into br's for you, so do this; $string="-line1n\ -line2 n\-line3"; $string = nl2br($string); echo "<br><textarea name='aria' cols='50' rows='2'>$string</textarea>"; adi wrote:
