blank.....

[bobe1309]

Hello!
I've drawn a blank. I'm setting up a session variable to obtain the information typed in a textarea such as this. Then outputing the text in a printer friendly page. Yet when I do this any \n (new lines) are concatonated into one long paragraph.... ie. 1
2
3
would show up as 123

I was woundering if anyone had any suggestions, such as would it help to load this variable into a frame of some sort which would be compatable to a textarea..... Thanks anything will help

Use the function nl2br().

Example: say the name of your textarea is string_with_newlines

<?php
$awesomely_cool_string=nl2br($string_with_newlines);
print $awesomely_cool_string;
?>

This should work...I think...unless you meant something else...
