Preserve Line Breaks From TextArea
(7 answers)
Closed 7 years ago.
I tried this but it's not chaning new lines to < br >
<textarea name="addesc" id="addesc"><?php echo $data['addesc']; ?></textarea>
$data['addesc'] = preg_replace("/\r\n|\r/", "<br />", $_POST["addesc"]);
$data['addesc'] = trim($data['addesc'])
As such there's no $_POST["addesc"] on the post.php page. There's $_POST["do"]. I tried it too. No results.
There is a php function for that called nl2br.
Btw. searching for "new line to br" would have been very easy and brings up certain related topics on SO and the php manual of nl2br:

This is inside the phpmyadmin:
This is the output after echo:
and this is the code for display output
$joinEvent = mysqli_query($db, "SELECT * FROM event WHERE event.eventID='".$_GET['eventID']."'");
while($row = mysqli_fetch_array($joinEvent))
{
$joinDetails = $row['details'];
}
<p align="justify"><?php echo $joinDetails; ?></p>
How do I echo exactly what user enter in the input?
Use nl2br() when you output to the screen, change your current code to:
<p align="justify"><?php echo nl2br($joinDetails); ?></p>
It might be better for you to store your details column as a text datatype.
Read here: What is the MySQL VARCHAR max size?
Your result is actually exactly what the user input is ; except that in HTML, line break characters (\r\n \n and so) are not interpreted by the browser. As said in the comments, you'll have to use the PHP function nl2br() to convert your line break characters to <br /> tags, which are the HTML line breaks.

In my PHP file I am able to retrieve text from my MySQL database, but it isn't in the same format when I echo it.
The image attached shows how the text is in the database, and how I want it to be echoed.
But instead, it echoes it without the line breaks. How can I keep the format?
Use the <pre> tag to output pre-formatted text, so it won't be reformatted:
echo "<pre>" . $row['content'] . "</pre>";
Or use the nl2br() function to convert newlines to HTML:
echo nl2br($row['content']);

How can i insert line break by a variable inserting into mysql?
$delattn = $row_Recordset_delattn['Cus_fname'].' '.$row_Recordset_delattn['Cus_lname'].',
'.$row_Recordset_delattn['Cus_designation'].',
LINE BREAK
'.$row_Recordset_delattn['Cus_department'];
Simply add a "\n" where you want a line break
$delattn = $row_Recordset_delattn['Cus_fname'].' '.$row_Recordset_delattn['Cus_lname'].','.$row_Recordset_delattn['Cus_designation'].', \n '.$row_Recordset_delattn['Cus_department'];
Use PHP's
nl2br()
function to translate that line break into a
<br />
tag in HTML. More info here
