textarea text in database probem

[Agarax]

Ok this may be a newbish question but im stumped

I setup for myself a simple little php/mysql code thing so i could maintain a blog and not have to update a normal html page vai ftp

Everything worked out well until I first posted and notised something wierd

None of my paragraphs were showing up, it was all run together. I can just put in <p></p> for all my paragraphs but id like to know how its done like in a forum.

Here i just press enter twice and it breaks/new paragraph

is it something in the php code or do you do something with the database?

Hi Agarax,

When you echo your message just add this code before it.

nl2br($message)

🙂

[Agarax]

echo(nl2br($message));
