Modify a row..

[tijerina]

I have php website and I upload images to my site via my php written admin tool.

I have an input box in my admin tool that is defined as this:
$prod_desc = $row['prod_desc'];

Within my admin tool web page, I can add a long text description.

The problem is when i cut and past text into the description area via my admin tool the pasted text wraps around and looks bad.

How do I modify the row that holds the description field to look like what I copied from. Or is there some HTML I can use to allow this rule.

Here is a sample of what I copy.

180 Gig.
Color is Red.
The sky is blue.
At night the sky is black.
70 years is a long time.

But when I paste it into my description field, it looks like this:

180 Gig.Colore is Red.The sky is blue.At night the sky is black.70 years is a long time.


Hope this makes sense.

The problem is likely that fact that HTML ignores returns in output.

You might take a look at the PHP function nl2br(). I would use this function on output going to a browser, but leave the data as-is in the database -- other non-HTML output interfaces will display the "<br>" tags the function produces.
