    Does anyone know if it is possible to insert data from an html form into a MySQL database and then retrieve this data with the formatting still preserved?

    At the moment, when I display the retrieve data it is displayed as one large block of text rather than separated paragraphs.

    Try using:
    str_replace("\n","<br>",$dbData);
    Code (markup):
    This will give you your paragraph formatting.
