I have a web page with a form with a text area. I enter:
foo
bar
PHP processes the POST and inserts the record into MySQL.
The database field is text.
I use PDO
For testing I have removed any processing of the text area content.
Now, no matter how many blank rows I have between foo and bar, in the database record, I always get a single newline character.
I am using Firefox 7.0.1.
Is this normal behaviour? I want to be able to enter more than 1 newline.
Thanks
Stephen
