new lines in form

[Ja NE]

well, it is time for some fine tuning of my application, after adding
that banner script for which I needed percentage solution, I would like
to fix my forum scripts...
when someone write some text in form's textarea and then
enter
new line (btw, is that \r or \n or combination?) I'm not "getting" that
new line but space. what can I do to "recieve" and store (in mysql db)
text with newlines instead of spaces. and, even better, to replace that
newline with </p>\n<p>...

tnx again

I've just done something very similar:

$description=$_ POST['textarea'];

$description = strip_tags($des cription); // Remove any HTML tags
$description = "<p>".$descript ion; // Add <p> to start
$description = str_replace("\r \n","</p><p>", $description); // Replace
new lines with paragraph

if(substr($desc ription,-3)=="<p>") // Remove last <p> from description
$description = substr($descrip tion,0,-3);

Jane,

That's the way HTML works - if you look at the page source and you'll
see the newlines in there. But processing the HTML gets rid of them.

You need to use something like PHP's nl2br() function to convert newline
characters to html breaks.

It can get very confusing when a newline "isn't" a newline!
