<br> tags in php

[Daniel Hollands]

me again, are you getting annoyed at me yet :) :)

How can I add the <br> tags to a text box once it's been placed in the database.

Like on this message board, each time
I hit enter
another <br> tag is

added




how do I do that :)))))))

$message=nl2br($message);

[Daniel Hollands]

so I would remove all html tags from the variable first, and then use this to add the <br> tags?

I guess it would be silly to do it the other way arround, because I would loose all the formatting that $message=nl2br($message); had done :-)

I think there's a funtion in PHP which strips all html tags.

use nl2br first before stripping the rest of the html tags

[Woofcat]

Either way works...

$message=nl2br(strip_tags($message));

or

$message=strip_tags(nl2br($message),'<br>');
