I'm currently building a site which requires users to post replies.

I would like it so it takes note of the line breaks that the user has posted.

Eg. When some posts this:

Code:

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Donec vel dolor metus. 

Aenean consectetur, magna sit amet volutpat fermentum, eros magna tincidunt est, et ultricies ipsum turpis in sem. 

Nunc blandit, diam dictum bibendum dapibus, ligula nisl porttitor est, non feugiat enim neque eu sem.

It'll go in the database like this:

Code:

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur 
adipiscing elit. Donec vel dolor metus.
 Aenean consectetur, magna sit amet 
volutpat fermentum, eros magna 
tincidunt est, et ultricies ipsum turpis in 
sem. Nunc blandit, diam dictum bibendum 
dapibus, ligula nisl porttitor est, non feugiat 
enim neque eu sem.

So when I try to return it like this:

PHP Code:

$row['content']; 

It'll show like it is in the database. How can I get it to take note of the line breaks?

What is the code you are using to submit the information to the database? When a user puts the information in, is he/she putting in the html <br/> or is it done by just hitting the enter bar?

[SniperTowers]

The user is just hitting the space bar.

[The Knowing]

Did you mean the enter bar? Space bar shouldn't make a <br/>.

[SniperTowers]

Oops, Yes enter bar. Sorry.

Take a look at nl2br()
