To split the data sent from a textarea into paragraphs everytime there is at least two newlines (regardless of whitespace), the following function works: function addParagraphTags( $text ) { $textElements = split ("( |\n|\t|\r)*([\n|\r\n|\r]( |\n|\t|\r)*[\n|\r\n|\r]{2,})( |\n|\t|\r)*", $text); $newText = ""; foreach ($textElements as $item) { $item = trim ( $item ); if ( strlen ( $item ) != 0 ) $newText .= "<p>$item</p>"; $text = $newText; } return $text; } ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.split.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+39290 Delete -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+39290&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+39290&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
