Inserts HTML line breaks before all newlines in a string

[Chris Mach]

Hey,

If i'am writing a post in a "textarea" and i use the ENTER (newline) on my keyboard it comes as a line break <br> in my post on the forum.

PHP uses "nl2br", but what is the ASP solution for this?

Depends on wht you actually want, but this may be what the equivalent
to PHP would be:

strPost = Replace(FormInput,VbCrLf,"<br>")

FormInput is what comes from the text area, strPost is the post with
HTML breaks.

Personally, I store the text verbatim in the database and replace on
retrieving it, but it could work either way.

Are you asking how to save a text input field to a database field,
retrieve the data from the database, format it for display or all of
the above?

Might look at:

It's not perfect, but will get you started.
