mysql question

Need help...

I have stored a formatted text content of three paragraphs long into a field of type TEXT.

When I retrieve the text content from the MySQL database using a PHP script and have it displayed on a HTML, I get a continuous text instead of three paragraphs of text.

Any ideas on how I can display the text properly? Thanks.

Yup. MySQL doesn't care what a carriage return is. The way I got around that is I used PHP to search for the carriage return character (I think it was '\n', or perhaps '\r\n') and replaced it with a

tag. There is probably a cleaner way to do this, but this method worked for me. Good luck, and let me know what you use.

Found the PHP code I used to search for carriage returns in a string and replace them with
or

tag:

$mystring = preg_replace("/\r\n|\n\r|\n|\r/", "
", $mystring); 

Hope that works for you
