RE: [PHP] Formatting question in PHP

Have you tried something like: <textarea name="someField" cols="75"><?php print("$someVarWithDataInIt");?></textarea> Also, i think there is an additional attribute for <textarea> where you can define the wrap, eg: wrap="soft" wrap="hard" htmlhelp.com didn't mention it, but I do remember seeing it somewhere...i could be confused though =) marco -----Original Message----- From: jari.ivanoff@telia.com [mailto:jari.ivanoff@telia.com] Sent: Wednesday, October 11, 2000 1:40 AM To: php-general@lists.php.net Subject: [PHP] Formatting question in PHP Hi... again! Well.. I got everything workin great now with the script I asked about yesterday. I have just a slight problem now when i present the information on the web, probably it is very trivial to you guys but I am new to all kind of programming except some html: I have a field that is 500 characters in size, and I want to get it to automatically linebreak on the page since the page is limited to a width of 606 pixels. I have tried to put the info in a table that has a width of 605 but it still put the data on 240 character long rows before the browser makes a break. Or is there a way to make the form I use for input to make the linebreaks? It is a normal html form that calls a php script for putting the data in to the database.
