| | Hi guys,
I have set up a form with a textarea. If I have text on multiple lines such as:
CODE here is some content
here is some more content
then when I print it out as html it will be returned on one line like so:
CODE here is some contenthere is some more content
When i look at the content in the database it looks just like the original way i entered it (contains the multiple lines).
Is there a function in php so that when i spit it out in html it retains the multiple line format?
Thanks in advance.

try this: CODE $value = str_replace(array( "\r", "\n", "%0a", "%0d"), ' ', $value);

QUOTE(paulmason411 @ Dec 7 2007, 10:07 AM)  jlhaslip you've done it again. Thanks! that may be sorta complex. The easiest way is to use : CODE <?php
$line_break=nl2br($_POST['text']);
echo $line;
?> nl2br() is a function which inserts a <br /> automatically at the end of every line.

CODE $value = str_replace(array( "\r", "\n", "%0a", "%0d"), ' ', $value); I use that in a function that replaces all the bad stuff in Emails, Comments, $_POST arrays, etc. Yes, probably a little overkill checking for the hex values. And you are correct, the nl2br() would likely do it. I had not had my morning coffee yet when I replied...

-reply by abby I'm not sure if I understand your problem, but try using strlen($str), where $str is the textarea value.

Oh thats really simple! you can replace newlines using str_replace like this CODE $your_string = str_replace(array(chr(10), chr(13)), "<br />", $your_string); or you can use nl2br CODE $your_string = nl2br($your_string); BUT if you are showing html code anyway, you can write it in a textarea like : <textarea><? echo $your_string; ?></textarea> or using the <PRE> tag, like this: <PRE><? echo $your_string; ?></PRE> But there are more options afcourse Thats it! - optiplex

Php Escaped Control Characters And Windows
they aren't working for me. (3) In php coding, when you escape certain characters, they have an impact on the output of an

outputting the content for a line of printing. They vary by OS, I know, but I have tried all the
variations I can think of and can't seem to control output using them. Believe me, I have tried
multiple variations and nothing works for me. I have checked the php.ini file for settings but I

Converting Dates
converting epoch to MM-DD-YYY (1) So this is probably a basic and lame question, but how can I convert dates so I can then sort them?
Right now, I have each part of a date as a separate variable: $month, $day, $year.
I'd like to store them in the database as epoch. This way when I do a query I can sort them by
date. I can figure out the datatype for the database later. I would also need to convert an epoch
to Month-Day-Year later on when I want to display this. I'm sure this isn't too complicated
but I figured asking for some suggestions anyway. Thanks!....
