Heya,

 

Pretty simple question!

 

I have a field in my MySQL database which is the post content from a phpbb forum. I want to display this on an external site. So, quite simply I query the database to find the post I want.

 

Once I have this, I store it in a variable. Which then I echo it back where I want.

 

The problem I am getting is this:

 

If the post the person made, has line breaks like this:

 

This is some text.

 

And this is a line break.

 

It will get stored in the database with a line break.

 

Although when I echo it back out, it appears like this:

 

This is some text.And this is a line break.

 

Does anyone know of any way, where I can get it exactly the same format as it is on the post?

 

Cheers

Use the nl2br() function.

 

echo nl2br($var);

Aha, thank you, works perfectly Never even heard of that before D:
