Subject: Where did my Hard Returns go?
I created an edit_task page that allows the user to edit tasks for the
database. I entered some text and used some hard returns.
But when I went to view the tasks (using a PHP script if it matters),
the hard returns didn't "take." None of em. All of the text is
jumbled together.
I checked within the MySQL database and noticed the Hard Returns
show in the database (at
least while using phpMyAdmin).
Must have something to do with PHP? Where did I go wrong???
No, it must not have something to do with PHP. View the source of
your web page. You'll see those hard returns are recovered verbatim
from the database. Web browsers *only* respect returns (newlines) in
elements formatted as <pre /> or when using a fixed pitch font in CSS.
You need to nl2br($result_string) if you want to get HTML <br />
characters in the stream - browsers use <br /> not newlines to
display line breaks. I thought everybody knew that ;-))
Cheers - Neil
