Heya, Pushpinderbagga .
Show us some code so that we can get a better sense of the context. You might be better off storing the data in the _SESSION....
When you do a carriage return when tying data in your textbox the Crs will be returned to you when you get the textbox content.
However, when you continue typing in your textbox but let the width of the textbox make a wrap, the wrap is NOT translated into a CR or a LF.
So, are you sure you use hard CRs in your text input?

Here is the code... Please have a look ... -
-
$jokeText = $_GET['jokeText'];
-
-
$query1 = "INSERT INTO joke (`joketext`) VALUES ('".$jokeText."')";
-
-
this is working but the carriage new lines or the cariage returns arnt showing when I display it in the page like
it simple as in this text area in which I am posting ...
the carriage returns are preserved ...
do i need to do something like -
-
$jokeText = $_GET['jokeText'];
-
-
$jokeText = trim($jokeText );
-
$jokeText = stripslashes($jokeText );
-
$jokeText = htmlspecialchars($jokeText )
-
-
and then insert ... and when displayig .. just
-
-
nl2br($jokeText )
-
-
is it .... please help .. me confused...
-
-
$query1 = "INSERT INTO joke (`joketext`) VALUES ('".$jokeText."')";

Heya, Pushpinderbagga .
What do you want your code to do? Give an example.
What is your code doing that you don't want it to do? Give an example.
What is your code *not* doing that it is supposed to? Give an example.
Just take the example of a simple guestbook. If user enters some text and then presses the ENTER key 10 times thus introducing 10 line breaks and enters more text then..
while displaying i need to keep those entered newlines preserved or you may say intact..
Ok.
Rule #1 when submitting forms with textarea's. Use <form method="POST">
method="GET" does not retain carriage returns i.e. 40 lines in textarea's.
thanks
even I thoought of this ...bt never triued implementing it ... thanks again will ... try and revert ..

Hello everybody,
I have one page with <select> list in it, which opens a popup with
another <select> list. Those two list are linked... When I select
something in the list that is in popup window and confirm the selection
(by pressing button), I call a function that fills the "parent" window
and forces popup to close. All this is accomplished by directly
accessing another list:

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
