[Resolved] A better text box for my Content Manager

[Rictus]

Hi. I’m making a Content Manger script for my webpage and I’m having a problem. The thing is that when I enter the information on one form and try to put it on my webpage’s template the text that I enter on the text box appears perfectly on the template but it loose all the formats. For example if I leave a blank space to start a new paragraph, because HTML don’t “recognize” this like a blank space the text appear all together. I’m looking for a way to fix this…If any one have an idea please help me.

So far I though that the best way to fix this is to find a way to make a text box write directly like on a HTML format (like the text box that hotmail have when you are writing an e-mail – that let you enter different formats to the text and then send the e-mail like a html...by the way I just notice that a text box like the one I'm using right is something like I'm looking for). I though that this could help…but so far I have not find any way to do this…but I’m still looking..Once again if anyone knows how to help me…please post a message here.

Thanks

instead of

<input 
   type='textbox' 
   name='mybox' 
   id='mybox'
   value='your value'>

You use textarea

<textarea
   name='mybox'
   id='mybox'
   cols='30'
   rows='4'
your value</textarea>

Also lookup the php function nl2br() as you will need that when you display what you saved.
