"Hi my name is bob smith and im talking to you now and hitting enter every now and then" and the name of the textbox is $message how could i get it to take the contents of the text box and put it in $message as is, with blank lines and carrige returns that the user has put in, becuase as you know that would just come out as "Hi my name is bob smith and im talking to you now and hitting enter every now and then" Any help would be great. funy_69@hotmail.com -- PHP Windows Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: php-windows-unsubscribe@lists.php.net For additional commands, e-mail: php-windows-help@lists.php.net To contact the list administrators, e-mail: php-list-admin@lists.php.net
