I have a text field that inserts its content into an SQL table. Often, I will want this content to have <p> html tags within, based on line breaks in the text field. I have tried doing a replace before inserting:

str_replace("</p><p>", "\n", $_POST["body"]);

and I have tried doing a replace with escape characters:

str_replace("&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;", "\n", $_POST["body"]);

with no success. Meaning they still appear as text field line breaks. There is no security issue as the field can only be accessed by an administrator. Thank you for your help.

    it seems both times you are trying to replace contrary – a </p><p> to \n which obviously fails
    try to swap str_replace argumants.

    I don’t understand what SQL has to do here though
