I'd change all newlines into <br>s when updating the database using regular expressions or using str_replace function... in this case (to avoid increasing #s of <br>s on every update) I'd recommend using ereg_replace. Search for the following regular expression... /(<br>)*\n(<br>)*/ --- perl syntax and simply replace with... <br> Call to ereg_replace would look like... ereg_replace("(<br>)*\n(<br>)*", "<br>", $sourceString); -- Andy Hoffman Web Developer Bristol-Myers Squibb email: andy.hoffman@bms.com
