Subject: Formatting a form box
Date: Thu, 12 Jan 2006 16:33:01 +0000
Hi there,
On one of my forms, there is a section where users can put images etc..and
then it is displayed on my php pages. My question is how do I make it so
that the html formatting is automatically done. For example when someone is
typing something, and wants to start a new paragraph although they press
return when typing when the data is displayed from the MySQL database on a
website it's just continuous text. For it to start a new paragraph they
have
to put <p> in when they are typing in this box. They do not know all the
html formatting codes, and so I need someway of making so that it is easy
for them to have formatted text without doing all the html.
Also things like changing colours, bold, italic and things would be good.
Something like on forums, where when you enter a new post you have all the
formatting options.
Hope this makes sense,
Regards,
Alex.
