Problem with a form..

[noswad]

Hi.

When a user registers on my site, they submit their address in a text area.

Text area code:

<textarea name="address" cols="30" rows="6" class="header_11" id="address">Name and Address</textarea>

However, there is a problem. If I enter my address like this:

111 A Posh Street
Small Town
Smogy City
London

...when I use a PHP session to display the users address in their account it displays like this:

111 A Posh Street Small Town Smogy City London

Could anyone advise me on where the problem lies?

Thanks for reading!

Sessions are generally not used to format.

However you could get it to format if you store the info into a Session
and used <br> within each that you want a new line.

You should use PHP nl2br() function to convert new lines from textarea to <BR>.
