Form not recognizing breaks!!

[Anon]

Ok im trying to make a database for guitar tabs and in the main form where the tab is located i will type in something like:
Blink 182
All the Small Things

TAB here...

and it will end up like:
Blink 182All the Small ThingsTAB here...

How can i make it break right?

here is the part of the script im looking at.. <? $tabbody = ereg_replace("\n","<br>",$tabbody); ?>
<font color="#FF0000"><strong>Song Tab: </strong></font><? printf("%s \n", $myrow["tabbody"]); ?><br>

and here is the form

<textarea name="tabbody" cols="80" rows="10" wrap="OFF"><?php print $tabbody ?></textarea>

Hi,

You are applying the ereg to the $tabbody variable yet you are printing out $myrow["tabbody"];

If $myrow["tabbody"] is your variable, do this:

ereg_replace("\n", "<br>\n", $myrow["tabbody"]);

and use:

print $tabbody;

or using your style:

printf("%s \n", $tabbody);

hope it works!
