Trouble with Formatting Paragraphs

I'm having trouble formatting paragraphs within PHP. I have a story that was inserted using an online web form. For each new paragraph created, I want PHP to display those broken paragraphs on a web page instead of it coming up with one <p> tag and a bunch of <br> tags. I'm trying to use CSS to indent each paragraph, but PHP is drawing the story into one <p> and using <br> tags to break the paragraphs. I want all the paragraphs to be indented. Any way to get around this? Heather ______________________________________________________________________ Speed up your surfing with NetZero HiSpeed. Now includes pop-up blocker!
