[Resolved] <br /> is added to data when taken from mySQL ?

[Pellefant]

Hello! 🙂

When I add this data to the mySQL database:

This is a test

Row3

Row5

It is saved in the database just like that. But when the data is put in a textarea with this command:

<TEXTAREA NAME="tab" class="box" ROWS="18" COLS="80">
<?echo nl2br($row['tab']);?></TEXTAREA>

It looks like this:

This is a test<br />
<br />
Row3<br />
<br />
Row5

Somewhy a <br > is added after every row 🙁

The column field type is "text".

Anyone have a clue please?

if it is stored in the database like

line one

line two

line three

the only time you need to use nl2br() is when you need it somewhere besides a textarea

a textarea will show any and all html/php code you put there

to take off the nl2br() when using a textarea

Thanks a lot for the help stolzyboy. 🙂
