Drewdle Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 I've got a form on my site, with a textbox...and the info is sent to a db. How would I get the textbox info to be displayed the same as it was entered? For instance if I put in an address: 11 Street Town City PostCode It gets displayed like: 11StreetTownCityPostCode How could I have it so when I press enter it actually adds a <br> or something to the db? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drewdle Posted January 21, 2011 Author Share Posted January 21, 2011 Genius. I was looking at string replace functions and all that riff raff but that one liner is perfect! Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drewdle Posted January 21, 2011 Author Share Posted January 21, 2011 Don't suppose you have a trick up your sleeve for creating and displaying forms with an unknown entry value?...or a trick to make my below guess easier? To explain further its a previous employers form, so it would have fields like: Company Name | Position Held | Date Started | Date Ended | Company Address The only problem I have is Joe Bloggs might have 7 previous jobs and Fred Biggins might have only 3 previous jobs... How would I create a table for such a form? Would I have to have them enter each job one at a time and create an add row query?... I think I could add a hidden username field so when I call it back it would display only those rows relevant to that username.... I dont expect you to provide the code, just guidance towards the proper method! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
