Saving longtext in format typed

    I am trying to get my database to save the formatting that I use when I type something in a longtext field. For example, when I hit enter twice,

    it should leave a blank line and when I come back to my page it should show the blank line. I'm not sure how to do this... any ideas?

    Thanks in advance.

    If you're getting text from a "textbox" then it will be saving those carriage returns inside the database.

    You'll be needing nl2br() to convert those carriage returns to <br />
