Is there any way to maintain paragraph breaks in a longblob text field in mysql? I have a large amount of news information I need to store in a mySQL database and then access this by php / ultradev but it needs to be broken up by paragraphs - can I only do this as I have done in the past with &lt;br&gt; break tags. ?

when you display the text in your PHP page, make sure that you add "nl2br" to the string like so:

&lt;?php echo nl2br( $field-&gt;Fields("table.field") ?&gt;

hope it helps
