HI, Im new to PHP completely but Im wanting to format the inputs for $order and $specialinstructions so that the /n of input is replaced with <br /> tags in the html. Ive heard about using nl2br() and Ive tried a rediculous number of things to try to make it work and use it properly from entries from many different forums. Can anyone please have a look at my code and let me know how I can implement this?! -
<?php

$newcustomer = $_POST["newcustomer"];
-
$name = $_POST["name"];

$accountnumber = $_POST["accountnumber"];

$nameoforderer = $_POST["nameoforderer"];

$phone = $_POST["phone"];

$deliverydate = $_POST["deliverydate"];
-
$deliverytime = $_POST["deliverytime"];
-
$order = $_POST["order"];
-
$specialinstructions = $_POST["specialinstructions"];
-
$billing = $_POST["billing"];
-

$to = 'andrew@domain.com';

Thanks.. I think.. I really just need help with my code.
Heya, Dameon.
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.

HI, Im new to PHP completely but Im wanting to format the inputs for $order and $specialinstructions so that the /n of input is replaced with <br />
...
Well, you probbly want to start by using '\n' rather than '/n'.
The nl2br() function will replace all newline characters in a string with '<br />' tags.
So all you would have to do is run the input text through that function before using it.
I have tried using guides from the internet to us nl2br but everything I try comes up with an error like 'data can not be altered in this way'. My code seen above doesnt contain my attempts but just the raw code. what I want is to be able to take the input for one of the variables and convert the \n tags from php to <br> tags in html so that when a customer lists the items they are interested in and the quantity it shows up on seperate lines how they originally formatted it.
I need for someone to give me very specific unambiguous instructions on how I could implement nl2br in reguards to my code above. Most of the guides online use very obscure examples in code that I would never have the need to use or even understand. I am truly new to php and just need to get the job done. would the code in total be something like:
$order = nl2br($order); or is there more?
and also.. does that code go in my html document or my php script?
Heya, Dameon.
Help me out here; I'm a bit confused.
What would be an example of input that you would need to process?
if nl2br() is not working properly -
you can try str_replace( "\n" , "<br />" ,$yourString)
(nl2br dosnt work properly if you use <pre> or textarea - it does not replace \n with <br> it adds <br> after \n)
