Re: Large text fields

You could also do this: $ew_text_fix = eregi_replace("\n\n", "<p>", $ew_text); Replace double line breaks with a <p>. THat's optional and of course, would probably make the formatting look a lot better :) Chris ----- Original Message ----- From: "Claus Nybo" <claus@nnwebdesign.com> To: "Chris Sano" <csano@choiceoneonline.com>; <php-general@lists.php.net> Sent: Wednesday, November 01, 2000 11:16 PM Subject: Re: [PHP] Large text fields > Thanks a lot!! > > This works great.
