PHP/MySQL question

[thirtythree]

Is there any way to have the formatting show up when retrieving text from a database and displaying it on a page? Replacing the line breaks with "< br >" when the text is inserted into the database would work but I don't know how to do that either. Umm .. hopefully someone can figure out what I'm talking about. Thanks.

You could use a simple str_replace("\n", "< br >"), but php even has a function called nl2br() that does that. (ignore spaces in the br tag)

^ that would work...or use pre tags 😛
