My script is ignoring spaces, carriage return and outputting text into a single line.
Any HELP!

<FORM NAME=&quot;upload&quot; METHOD=POST ACTION=&quot;/cgi-bin/message/frame/post_message.cgi&quot;
ENCTYPE=&quot;multipart/form-data&quot;><TD>
<font size=&quot;-2&quot;>NAME</font>
<INPUT TYPE=&quot;TEXT&quot; NAME=&quot;name&quot; ></TD>
<font size=&quot;-2&quot;>EMAIL</font>
<INPUT TYPE=&quot;TEXT&quot; NAME=&quot;email&quot; SIZE=&quot;40&quot;> </TR><TD>
      
<textarea rows=&quot;10&quot; name=&quot;message&quot; cols=&quot;50&quot;>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<input type=&quot;submit&quot; value=&quot;Submit&quot; name=&quot;B1&quot;><input type=&quot;reset&quot; value=&quot;Reset&quot; name=&quot;B2&quot;></p>

Here is the coding for my post_message.cgi file.

# print qq(&quot;FOLLOWING MESSAGE HAS BEEN POSTED\n&quot;);
$insert=$dhb->prepare(&quot;INSERT INTO MESSAGE_(MESSAGE,NAME,E_MAIL,SUBJECT)values(?,?,?,?)&quot;);
$insert->execute($message,$name,$email,$subject);
#print qq(&quot;ADD SUCCESSFUL\n&quot;);
Print_posted_message();
print end_html;
sub Print_posted_message{
print<<HTML;
<html> ......
