i have a textarea in a form which gets inserted into a table in my database (mySQL). When displaying this text back to the screen, how do i retain the line breaks etc. that were in the original input?

I bet if you searched for "textarea" and "line breaks" you'd of found the nl2br() function... but I'm not a betting man... unless there's money involved... and beer. ---John Holmes... -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
