text wrap

[Odoggy5]

anybody know how I can pull data out from my MySQL databse the same way I put it in? I dont know if there any text wrap features, I am using an HTML form with text wrap to input it into my tables, how can I make it come out the same way?

i think this is the problem, .. correct me if i'm wrong. you are using a text box just like you used to type your post.

then, to print it to the screen, you are not putting it in a text box, but rather just plain html.

if this is the issue, then it is not a problem. the text is going out the same way it goes in.

html does not recognize a line break, but rather the html tag <br>

fortunately for you, php has a function that converts line breaks to br tags.

PHP Code:

<?
$text = "hi my
name is
mike";

echo nl2br($text);
?>

I think he is refering to wordwrap. There is a very good example here: http://www.snippetcollection.com/snippet/php/65
