Can someone help please? I use phpmyadmin and set the message field in the database with respect to id being that the id is in auto_increament: message (text)(latin1_swedish_ci) but, when when text is inputed into the database via the form it appeared as a straight line in the database and again when view from the browser is also appeard starightline, this causes the whole page to expand, I expected the message input to break after it reach cols=40 and continue in a new line until it reach the rows=10 as defined in the html form. Can someone help please? Gab <form action="mail.php" method="POST"> <b>Email</b><br> <input type="text" name="email" size=40> <p><b>Subject</b><br> <input type="text" name="subject" size=40> <p><b>Message</b><br> <textarea cols=40 rows=10 name="message"></textarea> <p><input type="submit" value=" Send "> </form> <php? $insert=mysql_query("INSERT INTO form (email,subjetc,message)VALUES('$email','$subject','$message'"); ?> [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
