Hello!!
I am having the folowing problem:
I have a textarea tag on a form. when the user paste text there and I store in the database,
let's say from word, the text get all bad formatted.
to solve that, I found the following code:
<?
// fix text
$text = nl2br($text);
$text = ereg_replace("\n", "", $text);
$text = ereg_replace("\r", "", $text);
$text = ereg_replace("'", "'", $text);
?>
it works, not always, if I copy from a browser, but not from word.
Any ideas?
Thank you
Rom
