Advanced Echo? Or something else?

Hi,

I've got a mySQL database that stores information on upcoming events. One of these fields is a description field.

Now, when I enter the description it looks something like this in the box;

"
This is a description

Above is a space."

Now when I echo that field out, it looks like this;

"This is a description. Above is a space."

Any ideas how to get around this? Is there anyway of telling it to insert <br> tags where it sees a space?

Cheers,
Chris

YYup..

I've had to do this before

use : nl2br($string)

here is the man page with more info and user comments:

Enjoy. 🙂
