Hello. My name is Derek. I'm new to the forums and thought this place is the right venue to ask for some help. I have recently downloaded this free script:

lightphpscripts.com/?s=Free-PHP-Ajax-Text-To-Image-PreViewer

Everything is working fine, however, when entering text and hitting enter for a new line does not render in the image preview. Can anyone look at this and let me know how to make the linebreak work? There's also a demo on the site I posted so you can see what I'm talking about when trying to make it render a new line. Any help would be much appreciated. This is the only script I could find to put on my website. If anyone else knows of a similar script that works with linebreaks, I'd very much appreciate it. Thanks in advance to my knowledge peers!

Derek

Just replace your enters with a <br />, standing for Line Break , hope that's what you need

PS Welcome to Webmaster-talk! I hope you found what you were looking for!

OR If you're making a user input box where they can type line breaks into a box, or som3ehow get this script below to work for everything, go for it. However, it is a good idea to just use <br />s regularly.

<?php
$text  = "You should eat fruits, vegetables, and fiber every day.";
$from = array("\n");
$to   = array("<br />");
echo str_replace($from, $to, $text);
?>

As a side note, you can change the $variable names (the things with the dollar signs) to whatever you want, 'text', 'to', and 'from' aren't key, you can make them bob, joe, and sally :P

Now what that script does it take everything from $from and replace it with $to, using PHP's built-in function called 'str_replace'. '\n' Is a 'newline', meaning every time a user enters a
new line, it will actually just render a \n in the box. You don't actually ever see this in the source or in the box itself, but it's there
