Text loosing layout

On page http://boatsforsalenow.com/BoatResultsDetail.php?RecNo=11422 there is a large amount of text.

When entered it is formatted correctly with returns etc but as you can see on the display page all the formatting is missing.

Can you please say what may be going wrong?

Many thanks

John

Line breaks are ignored in HTML... the solution is to replace the line breaks with "<br>" tags when writing it to the page.

Something like this should work:

<?php echo(str_replace("\n","<br>",$row_Recordset['Description'])); ?>

Thanks Ray
Should that code go to the top of the page?

No that is in place of the code that is currently displaying the text in that area of the page. If you send me a copy of the page I can be more specific.

The update would be made on the displaying page: BoatResultsDetail.php

That is the page that I would need to reference for implementing the code I suggested.

On line 262 replace this:

php:
<?php echo $row_DetailRS1['Description1']; ?>



with this:

php:
<?php echo(str_replace("\n","<br>",$row_DetailRS1['Description1'])); ?>

Hello Ray
Back to an Oldie

Text is not displaying breaks
I suspect this line
<?php echo($WADAboats_details->getColumnVal("Description1")); ?> needs replacing?
Many thanks
John .
