Re: Retrieve Data Formated from Text field

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 




 The data is inserted into db in this way:
 "Hello,
 This is a sample of first line.
 This is another paragraph, blah
blah blah
Bye"
 But the result is in one paragraph:
  "Hello, This is a sample of first line.
This is another paragraph, blah
blah blah Bye"

It sounds as if your database record includes a carriage return or new line character (\n), which is not recognized in html (except using the <pre> tag.

You need to replace the new line with an html <p> tag. You might want to store each paragraph in a different database record (make a table for the text. It will include a key that connects it to the main record, the text, and a sequence number that tells you the order in which the paragraphs should be displayed).
