urlencode() not working on "enter" button 1

[saroy71]

Hi php wizards,

I'm having problems with getting a variable to pass correctly from page1.php to page2.php.

On page1.php there is a form where a person puts in name, email, and a brief message. It is this message where I am running into problems.

On page2.php I want to see the message 'exactly' as written. That is, if the person presses the 'enter' button then I want a carrage return. What I am currently getting is one long line of what was written. A single space comes out fine (doesn't show up as a +) but not the carrage return.

I've tried urlencode and rawurlencode with no success.
$message = unlencode($_GET['message']);

Any thoughts?

Wow... that was easy.

Thanks so much Spookie.

As new to php I don't know it very well.

I don't suppose there is something equally as easy so that it will display the single quote (') or double quote (&quot correctly? Currently it is putting a backslash in front of them.

Please let me know.
