Hi all,

I'm not sure if I posted this in the right section, but here goes.

I'm trying to code a news updater to a site, using a HTML form that goes to a PHP page and updates the database from there. It all works fine, I don't need help with with that.

What I would like to know is how do you code it so that, when someone presses return in the HTML form, it adds the <br /> code in that place? When I try it, it doesn't add the new line so the news post just comes out as one, long line.

Thanks!

You need to format your output with nl2br.

But wouldn't the text field need to add "\n" where each <br /> is needed? My system isn't adding those either...

\n is a switched characture for new line. When you type the "Enter" or "Return" key on the keyboard, it creates a new line, and the built-in PHP function nl2br() is placing the html tag <br /> before each newline within the string.

That works perfectly, thanks guys!
