[RESOLVED] Creating NewLine

[obrienkev]

Hi,

How do I ensure a break is added after each result is displayed in textarea?

At moment <br /> is displayed as text.

while($row_cmt = mssql_fetch_array($result_cmt))
{
 					$comment_log = $row_cmt['comments'];
					$comment_date = $row_cmt['comments_date'];
					echo $comment_log.' '.$comment_date.'<br />';
}

try \n instead of <br /> if it's inside a normal text area.

i say normal text area as they can be pretty funky with http://tinymce.moxiecode.com/ and the other cool javascript libraries out there. 😉

As mobtex pointed out, data inside of a textarea's default value in HTML isn't parsed for HTML. As such, you'll need to use a normal new line character (\n will work fine, but make sure you use double quotes instead of single quotes).
