khanahk Posted August 7, 2012 Report Share Posted August 7, 2012 I am building a forum from scratch. I have a textarea, just like the one you're about to type in. I want to 'keep' the new lines from user input to be displayed later, as they are about to be kept when I submit this topic. I have tried $stuff = nl2br($_POST['user_input']); Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khanahk Posted August 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2012 I found that a simple <pre> tag along with the use of the htmlspecialchars() PHP function did the trick quite well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
