The below does the newline and takes care of html tags which might otherwise
get parsed by the web browser.
# This function is to fix the characters. It replaces all htmlentities with
their & kind representation
# and converts newlines to html breaks (<BR>)
function fix($string)
{
return(nl2br(htmlentities($string)));
}

Try this:
$Home = nl2br($Home); // nl2br converts newlines to <br>s
See http://www.php.net/nl2br for more info.
(Incidentally, I answered exactly the same question yesterday, in exactly
the same way. *Please* check the list archives/last few days postings/manual
before posting this sort of thing :-)

Subject: [PHP] PHP using Forms
Hello,
I have a form field <TEXTAREA name="Home" ROWS=10
COLS=40><? echo $Home ?></TEXTAREA>
with this data in it:
My Home
11 North 5th St
St. Paul MN
Phone: (555) 555-5555
Fax: (555) 555-5555
E-Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
When submited it goes into a mysql database. The
problem i'm running into is that the output looks like
this after the call from the mysql database to html:
My Home 11 North 5th St St. Paul MN Phone: (555)
555-5555 Fax: (555) 555-5555 E-Mail:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
How do I get it to print out with line breaks like how
I have typed it into the form?
Thank you
--Mike
