I'm looking to display data from a textarea field exactly how it was entered, including spaces
(simulating a pressed TAB key).
For example, if people were logging hours on a project for Time & Material, I have people
entering:
Name Hours
Joe 6
Sue 7
It is displayed in html as:
Name Hours
Joe 6
Sue 7
How do I capture the spacing? It always seems to get truncated or pressed together when displayed
in html. However, if I edit it back in a textarea, it is fine.
The nl2br() function works beautifully, it's just the losing of additional spaces between words
that doesn't work for me.
