I have a question that I can’t seem to get answered.

I am using a CMS that I found / fixed up…

When posting new news articles, you have to format everything in HTML, putting <p> around each paragraph, etc.

Is there a way I can fix it so it doesn’t require me to do this?

I would just like to type stuff into the textbox, formatting it basically by pushing ENTER.

Anyone know what I’m talking about?

Anyone know how to do this?

Thanks,
Will

@NogDogJan 29.2005 — Probably easiest thing would be to use [url=http://us3.php.net/manual/en/function.nl2br.php]nl2br[/url].
[code=php]
echo "<p>".nl2br($_POST['text'])."</p>n";
[/code]

So would I put this where? On the actual text box or the page it outputs to :-$?

I'm confused, sorry ?.

@NogDogJan 29.2005 — The page that ouputs it. The textarea object will send the text in the POST variable with the newlines as typed in by the user. Using the nl2br() function will convert each newline character into the html <br> code instead, forcing line breaks in the output.

That worked wonderfully.

Thanks for your help,
