Need help outputting large text from MySQL

[jonnyboy]

Please can someone help?!

I want to output text from MySQL as it was entered in the original form.

i.e.

If entered in the TEXTAREA as:-

Line 1
Line 2
Line 3

I would like to output the array as:-

Line 1
Line 2
Line 3

Not:-

Line 1 Line 2 Line 3

What I need is exactly what this form does??????

Hope someone can help...

Yours desperately

Jonathan

You would have to replace the \n with <br>'s so it would display how you'd want it.

PHP has a function called nl2br()

Run your text through that first and then output it to the HTML.

$sql_row['element'] = nl2br($sql_row['element']);
echo $sql_row['element'];

Thanks ElectusUnum!

That's worked great.
