I have a vacancy web site that displays jobs current available. I have a form to insert the information into an MySql Database including detail regarding the job. If I put line breaks in the text these pass fine into the database.When I try to pull them back into a PHP page it displays as one long string of text that has been wrapped.
Can anybody help

from the php manual:
<pre id=code><font face=courier size=2 id=code><?php
$text = "The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog.";
$newtext = wordwrap($text, 20, "<br />"
;
echo "$newtext\n";
?></font id=code></pre id=code>

Probably it's too late but here it is anyway...
I came with the same problem a while ago and found this solution, can't remember where though
<pre id=code><font face=courier size=2 id=code>< ?php echo nl2br($row_rsRECORDSET['field_name']); ?></font id=code></pre id=code>
It's a function that converts line breaks to html's br
