How do I insert paragraph into database, without losing line feeds?
As you know, clients often like to be able to enter their own content on their websites.
I create a simple user interface where the client can enter fields such as Name, Address, Phone, etc.
I then insert each into the appropriate fields of my SQL database.
My problem is when I try to insert a "whole paragraph", ( if they want to update the "News",etc on their site) that I would output into a div.
When the user clicks "Submit", the data gets inserted into a field in my SQL database. PROBLEM: when I output it onto my page (say, into a div), it is one continuous string of data, meaning the line feeds are ignored.
Is there a way that I can correct this issue? Or steer me in a direction? I would like to know if there is a trick to this? I cannot be the first one running into this issue.
Any help would be appreciated! Thank you very much in advance.
