MySQL with Textbox

[joecooper]

I have a textbox that all the info gets submitted to a MySQL DB. but when i load it up again, its all on 1 line. when i use <br> it does go on seperate lines, but i need it to do that without that.
any ideas?
Thanks!

Take the textbox content 'as is' and place it in the database. When you want to display it with those newlines converted to html <br>, use the newlinestoBR function:
[code]echo nl2br($your_database_field);[/code]
Is that what you meant?

i dont think you quite understood.

when i submit infomation from textbox and i use enter to make a newline and not <br>, when i load it with echo, it gives it on one line. i dont want that, i want it to appear exactly how i typed it

I dont quite understand what you mean, but maybe you could wrap the text around with <pre> ... </pre>. This would display the text with the exact format that it was typed in.
