Question

In my form, I have a TextArea Box in which user can input multiple lines in it.

Example of the input;

1) Adam
2) Joe
3) Zack

After I saved the input in the database and I display it in a table. The output will become like this ;

1) Adam 2) Joe 3) Zack

This is the code;

<table>
<tr>
    <td align="center"><?php echo $sis_sistem ?></td>

</tr>   
    </table>

The variable $sis_sistem holds the data that I called from the database.

The problem is that is not what I want for it to display. So how am I going to display it exactly like the user’s input before?

Like this;

1) Adam
2) Joe
3) Zack

I don’t know what happened but when I try back the nl2br() functions several times, it worked. Thank you all and sorry for the mistakes.

Answer 1

Try this :

<?php echo nl2br($system); ?>

Your lines breaks might be saved as \n in the database, but you need to use the HTML
tag in a web page.
