How are you getting it into the database? MySQL isn't going to change the formatting of that text at all. Now, if you were to display it in an HTML page, it won't look the same. HTML does not recognize newlines, only <br> tags. Here is where the nl2br() function comes in handy, or <pre> tags. ---John W. Holmes... PHP Architect - A monthly magazine for PHP Professionals.
