Text is missing its Paragraph seperation

25
I have simple text entered into a MySQL database (with the DB field type set as 'text'). This text contains regular carriage returns which form paragraphs and the resultant gaps in between section of text.

My problem is when I do a query from a web browser and display the text, all the Carriage returns are stripped and I'm left with one giant hunk-o-text.

How can I preserve the paragraphs for display on the web browser.

thanks

I believe carriage returns are preserved. Since you are outputting the text into HTML you have to turn the returns into a BR by using code. In PHP, one would use nl2br function for this. You might look for a similar function for what ever language you are using.

Hey KUB365, Thanks. thats exactly what was required.
Wow, PHP is packed with many features which make life very easy. I guess it will take a while for me to eventually discover them all.
thanks again.
