multiple paragraphs

[Anon]

I a new to php and was wondering the following. I have a mysql database where one of my fields have multiple paragraphs. When I try to view it in PHP it is all clumped together as one paragraph. How or what do I do to make it display indivdiual paragraphs with carriage returns?

[crusty_php]

Try using the nl2br() function.

echo nl2br($row[blah]);

It's the way you store it in the DB it you store it with carriage returns it will display with it otherwise PHP cant determine that it has it a way to accomplish this is on the form you have to insert the data use this for the field that carry the paragrahs

$data = ereg_replace("(\r\n|\n|\r)", "<br />", $form);

Hope that helps
