One useful way to replace a new line character "\n" within your code COMPLETELY it to use this: $comments = ereg_replace("(.\n)", "<br >", $comments); This makes a msg that comes into your prog looking like this: "Hey ... Mucho Bueno" Turn into this: "Hey ...<br ><br >Mucho Bueno" This is useful for people who keep a .txt file database, with each line in that database refering to one entry ... NOTE the spaces in the break return tags "<br >", this is so they will be displayed on this page, please remove the spaces ... -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.ereg.php http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+20051 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+20051 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+20051
