RE: [PHP] Data entered by a form

$text = str_replace("\n", "<br>", $text); $text = str_replace("<br><br>", "<p>", $text); That should do it for most situations (single and double newlines). If there are three or four, it may break. --Bruce Bruce Christensen Intel Corporation brucex.r.christensen@intel.com -----Original Message----- From: Phillip S.

There is a textarea field that holds a large amount of copy. The results get plugged into MySQL. Is there a way when the copy is pulled out of the DB by PHP to format the data so that \n and \r values are converted to <BR> and <P> html tags so the copy is formatted correctly?
