RE: [PHP] preserve text formatting

What sort of field are you using? If you are using a BLOB or TEXT field, then perhaps it is the way you are gathering the data, or displaying it afterwards. I.e. if the data is coming from a file, you might be using a function on it to read that removes the carriages, or perhaps when you display it, you are not using <pre></pre> tags to preserve the formatting? Respectfully: RW -----Original Message----- From: Greg Donald [mailto:greg@destiney.com] Sent: Wednesday, August 09, 2000 2:14 PM To: PHP-General Subject: [PHP] preserve text formatting Is there any way to preserve text formatting of a string when inserting it into a mysql database field? I know I could wrap it with some html, but I really don't need that kind of formatting, I just need to preserve the carriage returns and new line calls. I was thinking maybe I was using the wrong kind of mysql field, but after looking at the manual, I don't see anything like what I need. Is there something in PHP that can do the job?
