I want to convert the data displayed from a database field into a Bulleted list.
I put data in the database in a Simples Text/ text area field and then display it on the website. But it displays all the data but I want every line of that field to be converted into Bulleted text.

The Data is the text field I store is mostly the features of any product and then and I want that every feature to be displayed in Bulleted list.

Any help in this regard is greatly Appriciated and ANTICIPATED.

You can't really do this in a text area field, however, you can do it on a web page.

What server-side script are you using?

Hi

The VBScript version would be something like this:

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;%
While ((NOT rsMyData.BOF) AND (NOT rsMyData.EOF)) %&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;%=(rsMyData.Fields.Item("col_user_fname".Value)%&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;% rsMyData.MoveNext()
Wend
%&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

Can't help you on the PHP version though
