Re: Display Problemo

I see 2 possibilities to go and 1 warning: 1th way to go: you insert another field into your db called "originalCode" for example where you insert the code also but don't modify it at all. If someone wants to download the code you fetch the code from that field 2th way to go: you stay with only 1 field holding the code snippet and you don't change the code when inserting but you use nl2br when displaying. Needs a bit more processing time (I don't think it's a lot) but needs less disk space than 1th way warning: don't try to get rid of <BR> tags or other things afterwards because you could run into unsolvable problems (what when a coder has <BR> in his code? You could destroy it!)
