Need help with wrap when hitting the return key

[cs7536]

I want to know if someone can please help me with this issue.

I want to be able to click the return key on the keyboad and it go to the next line on he script. When I hit return or enter it goes to the next line when typing but when I access the content from the database it is all together it does not show the next line.

example I would like:

hello hello hello
anddjjfkjfdkjfjdkjfkdkjfd.

instead of:

hello hello hello anddjjfkjfdkjfjdkjfkdkjfd

Write a procedure to replace chr(13) to <BR>. Call this procedure before writing your strin to the database. When you print it you will see text in two lines in the browser.

the code i gave is for display to the user. in the databse it WILL be stored in one line....

but that musnt bother u much.

howeever if u r retrieving the data in a textarea then
$string is the data that comes from the database.

<textarea><?=$string?></textarea> will do.
