Displaying Multiline Strings

[vboctor]

Hi,

I have memo fields that contain multiline data. When I use echo, print, or printf. It prints it on one line. Is there a way, I can print it on multiple lines as it should be?

When I show the field inside a text area, it appears as multiple lines. So what happens is that the string is written to the output HTML with actual carriage returns where I want it to be written with \n characters so that the "print" functions output it correctly.

Thanks,
Victor.

Victor,

The function you're looking to use is nl2br(), a string function referenced in the manual at http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.nl2br.php. HTH,

or stick
<pre> output</pre>
around the output and it will write it with the linebreaks where they are in the source
