[RESOLVED]TEXT Field

when i show a text field into area box from table, it comes nicely with formated text but when i try to show in a <td>, its messed up.

like

in area box -
Istiaque Sami
Ambarkhana
Sylhet - 3100
Bangladesh

in TD

Istiaque Sami Ambarkhana Sylhet - 3100
Bangladesh

why?

because line breaks do not show up in HTML pages unless you break the line using the "<BR>" tag. you can simply do this before you put it in the <TD>:

PHP Code:

---

  //assuming $data is your information, you can do this:
  $data = str_replace("\n", "<br />", $data);
  $data = str_replace("\r", "", $data);
  //now, you can put it in the td
  echo "<td>$data</td>\n"; 


---

This will remove line breaks and carriage returns from your data and replace them with one line break in HTML.

Thanks. Its working nicely.
