So you basically rely on detecting the "\n" at each line of text, turn all of the lines into array elements and then count the elements and run through a loop, echo'ing each element in the <LI> formatting. That makes sense to me.
I was originally thinking along the lines of ereg_replace each "\r" with "</LI><LI>" but I like your way better.
1 - So, is that the basis of formatting all these types of database entries... explode on the "\n"?
2 - Also, what type of column should these go into the mysql database as? TEXT or BLOB?
THanks a bunch for the advice - Paul
