well, i have been running head over heels with this problem... i have been working on an online ordering system in flash which submits files to php, and which inturn puts it in the database.. the problem is that i dont have the newline break thing working.... i mean in flash, the "newline" in the actionscript solves it.. but when it is in the database... all of the linebreaks are gone and a continous string of code is created.... hmm... something like this.:1 x Sweet lime1 x Lime-mint cooler45 x Grape juicewhen it was supposed to be:1 x Sweet lime1 x Lime-mint cooler45 x Grape juice... i triend nl2br... but it does not work,,, or i have the code wrong or something..pls check if this code is right or not:PHP Coding:<?include ('Include.inc');mysql_connect($DBhost,$DBuser,$DBpass);@mysql_select_db("$DBName");$cart = nl2br($cartsend);$query = "INSERT INTO orders (orderid, date, name, tel, address, comments, cart) VALUES ('$orderid', DATE_SUB(now(), INTERVAL 2 HOUR) , '$name', '$tel', '$address', '$comments', '$cart')";$result = mysql_query($query);print "&status=DONE.";?>and i have used the following code for the retreival:<?$res = mysql_query("select * from orders");while($row = mysql_fetch_array($res)){ print "<tr><td valign=top>" . $row['orderid'] . "</td><td>" . $row['name'] . "</td><td>" . $row['tel'] . "</td><td>" . $row['address'] . "</td><td>" . $row['cart'] . "</td><td>" . $row['comments'] . "</td><td><a href=\"delete.php?id=" . $row['id'] . "\">delete</a></td></tr>";}?>if i can somehow get those linebreaks to turn into a "<br>" in the mysql databse, then my problem could be fixed,Please help,Tariq

ok, i fixed the problem, i used the split and join to change the \n to (br) and then another small change in the retreival script to change the (br) to <br> and voila it works!!!these are what i did to the script:The submit code:<?include ('Include.inc');mysql_connect($DBhost,$DBuser,$DBpass);@mysql_select_db("$DBName");$cartsend = str_replace("\r", "\n", "$cartsend");$query = "INSERT INTO orders (orderid, date, name, tel, address, comments, cart) VALUES ('$orderid', DATE_SUB(now(), INTERVAL 2 HOUR) , '$name', '$tel', '$address', '$comments', '$cartsend')";$result = mysql_query($query);print "&status=DONE.";?>the retreival code: (HTML and PHP)<html><head><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"><title>Untitled Document</title><style type="text/css"><!--.style1 { font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10px; color: #999999;}.style5 { font-size: 10px; color: #999999;}body { background-color: #FFFFFF; margin-top: 0px;}--></style></head><body><?include ('Include.inc');mysql_connect($DBhost,$DBuser,$DBpass);@mysql_select_db("$DBName");?><table width="980" border="1" cellspacing="0" bordercolor="#999999"><tr><th width="71" bgcolor="#FFFFFF"><span class="style1">orderid</span></th><th width="113" bgcolor="#f8f8f8"><span class="style1">name</span></th><th width="94" bgcolor="#FFFFFF"><span class="style1">tel</span></th><th width="177" bgcolor="#F8f8f8"><span class="style1">address</span></th><th width="230" bgcolor="#FFFFFF"><span class="style1">cart</span></th><th width="133" bgcolor="#f8f8f8"><span class="style1">comments</span></th><th width="65" bgcolor="#FFFFFF"><span class="style1">bill value*</span></th><th width="63" bgcolor="#f8f8f8"></th></tr><?$res = mysql_query("select * from orders");while($row = mysql_fetch_array($res)){ $cart = str_replace("(br)", "<br>", $row['cart'] );$address = str_replace("(br)", "<br>", $row['address'] );print "<tr><td valign=top>" . $row['orderid'] . "</td><td valign=top>" . $row['name'] . "</td><td valign=top>" . $row['tel'] . "</td><td valign=top>" . $address . "</td><td valign=top>" . $cart . "</td><td valign=top>" . $row['comments'] . "</td><td valign=top>" . $row['bill'] . "</td><td><a href=\"delete.php?id=" . $row['id'] . "\">delete</a></td></tr>";}?></table></body></html>now hopefully, no one else would stumble accross such a problem!cheers,Tariq
