PHP Adding/Editing DB via FORMS

[ziycon]

on the display page try to convert the chr(10) and chr(13) to <br /> tags

echo str_replace(chr(13),"<br />",$string);

Nope, had no effect at all on the string!?

How is the string stored in the DB? can you copy & paste here?

 

[ziycon]

Its stored in a field of type text in the DB. Just like below:

Test string.<br>A second test line.

If you look at the page source can you see the <br> tag?

 

[ziycon]

If you look at the page source can you see the <br> tag?

Shows up as &lt;br&gt;.

 

[louie]

that's your problem.
run a replace function

str_replace(array("&lt;br&gt;","&lt;br &gt;","&lt;br /&gt;"),"<br />",$string);

and that should sort out your problem
