[<?Wille?>]

i have a problem with showing the posted messages 'as written'.. here if i press enter
the line changes
but only way i have got the line to change is by makeing the user type [br] witch is not good.. i use a textarea that is slashed (addslashes()) and inserted.. then to show it i unslash (stripslashes()) it and just echo..
anyone know how its done or what i do wrong?
thanks
Wille

use the function 'nl2br()' in the code for show message.

PHP Code:

$text = YOURTEXT.

$text = str_replace("r/", "<br>", $text);

$text = str_replace("/n", ",<br>", $text); 

this replaces new lines and returns with <br>, great isnt it.

BTW if you gonna use 4n7hr4x's cide on a windows machine use this:

PHP Code:

$text = str_replace("\r\n", ",<br>", $text); 

also it's a backslash not a foward.

either way works fine, eclipse is just one line shorter,

Uh, actully your method would make it double <br> on windows.

i have never used windows, good to know.

$text = YOURTEXT. 

$text = str_replace("r/", "<br>", $text); 

$text = str_replace("/n", ",<br>", $text); 

this replaces new lines and returns with <br>, great isnt it.

either way works fine, eclipse is just one line shorter,

eclipse way is ok. but it won't work when the browser is *NIX compliant. it's safer to change only "\n" into '<br />' and then strip the rest "\r" for cross browser compatibility.

about your way 4n7hr4x, i just ask, have you tested it before? since the character "r/" and "/n" do not exist in ASCII table, the character won't be replaced except there is either literal 'r/' and '/n' in the string. (which is contrary to what is expected).
