Hi All: I need to print out several paragraphs of information stored in a MySql field to a web page. To do this I am using: $db = mysql_connect("localhost", "dbase", "password"); mysql_select_db("dbase",$db); $sql = "SELECT update FROM members WHERE username = 'Don'"; $query = mysql_query($sql); $results = mysql_fetch_array($query); $text = $results["update"]; echo "$text"; but it does not insert the returns between the paragraphs. I think I need to tell it to insert a <p> in place of the return. There is a way to do this as I have seen it on the PHP site when I was searching for something else. Of course now that I need it I can't find the example. Can someone please help me figure this out? Thank you, Louis Brooks
