textarray and new lines

[Stijn Goris]

hi all,

I have a textarea in which users can enter text. When submitted the data is
stored in a database.
This works fine except when a new line is inserted (enter). This is not
stored in the database.
Is it possible to do this?

regards

Well, it is actually stored in the database - but if you try to display it
in a browser the browser will ignore new lines. Look at nl2br() to add <BR
/> before display.

(If there were a FAQ this would be in it)
