formatting blob data!

[adnan1983]

I am uploading articles as a blob datatype, was wondering when I display the information back how can I save the paragraphs spaces? Instead of just displaying the article in one huge paragraph. Is there a way?

Ereg_replace() works by simply replacing "\n" (the newline character) with "<br>". (This is a handy function for a lot of other things too!!)

Example:

$blob_data = ereg_replace("\n","<br>",$blob_data);

Then you can print out your $blob_data and the paragraphs will be in place.
