Okay, two notes on the above function I mentioned. I've noticed it always omits one space if the user adds spaces before any text at the beginning of a line. As far as I can tell, you would need to use ereg_replace() to check for that. The only other alternative would be to simply replace all spaces with "&nbsp", which I didn't care to do. So, this works well enough to allow for any formatting users might want to do in the way of adding multiple spaces between text in forms they submit. For instance, many people use two spaces between all of their sentences; HTML normally doesn't reflect this if they submit a form using this convention.
