PHP help again

[- English -]

This is part of my form for a textarea field. I am reading from the database (['content'] being the database row). I want it so when i format in the textarea field, it keeps the same format when it submits to the HTML page.

<p>Content: <br/></p>
		<textarea name="content" rows="10" cols="32"><?php echo $sel_subject['content'];?></textarea></p>

For example;

Hello
1
2
3

should print out the same in HTML.
However its printing out as Hello 1 2 3.

Ive been trying to look up how, and there seem to be a number of ways, although none I have found help me to implement them. They just give the functions.

string nl2br()
and str_replace

Can anyone help me, ive tried every combination of trying to get it to work!

<p>Content: <br/></p>
		<textarea br2nl($sel_subject['content']) name="content" rows="10" cols="32"><?php echo $sel_subject['content'];?></textarea></p>

:S

nl2br is exactly what you want. You need to put it where you're echo'ing the text.

echo nl2br($sel_subject['content']);

dam was so close!

It kinda works .. well

Upon typing text and pressing submit, it inserts the <br/> tags

Tho you need to resubmit it to take affect on the html page.

Any way around this?

Umm...

You don't do nl2br on the stuff INSIDE the textarea, only on whatever you're echo'ing outside of it.

Shouldn't the nl2br function be inside the <?php ?> tags?

 

[Tuthmes]

Try using text align and/or make another <div> inside the content. Will have a serious look if you're still stuck!

Or just use a break after the rowtag.. (<br> not break

XHTML just isn't worth it now

One day I wanted to try it and since then I've adopted the standard =) I'm a bit of a freak and XHTML touched my sense for pedantic coding
