Re: How to echo the "/n", "/r", etc... to the HTML display?

I suppose "sp" is space? Two suggestions: Why don't you do <pre> (print here the string as-is. newlines and spaces will be kept as they are by the browser) </pre> Another Possibility: $string = preg_replace("/\\s/", "&nbsp;", $string); I hope I addressed your problem and didn't miss the point best regards Stefan Rusterholz ----- Original Message ----- From: "Scott Fletcher" <scott@abcoa.com> To: <php-general@lists.php.net> Sent: Friday, January 25, 2002 6:31 PM Subject: [PHP] How to echo the "/n", "/r", etc... to the HTML display? > Hi! > > I have been working on this part for a few days now!
