Use WRAP=VIRTUAL The other choices for WRAP are morally wrong! :-) WRAP=VIRTUAL will give you exactly what the user typed -- Not some stupidly-wrapped text that happens to be wrapped at the size of the input box, which is irrelevant to anything resembling reality, much less one that will rip out the line breaks the user *wants* in their text. Once you've done that, you need to be aware that the *BROWSER* don't give a damn about line breaks. Which is why when you *DISPLAY* the text to the user (not when you store it in the db!) you want to use: http://php.net/nl2br -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm I'm looking for a PRO QUALITY two-input sound card supported by Linux (any major distro). Need to record live events (mixed already) to stereo CD-quality. Soundcard Recommendations? Software to handle the recording? Don't need fancy mixer stuff. Zero (0) post-production time. Just raw PCM/WAV/AIFF 16+ bit, 44.1KHz, Stereo audio-to-disk.
