How to insert <p> in the copy

[zzz]

Is there a way to copy and paste a few paragraps of text into a textarea of a form and when it's stored in the database, have it saved with <p> where the paragraph breaks are?

I'd hate it to go and manually insert <p> while in the text area.

Well, take a look at [man]str_replace/man, or possibly even [man]nl2br/man. For example:

$text=str_replace("\n", "<p>", $text);
echo $text;

HTH,
🙂
