hello!

i wrote a guestbook in php that uses a mysql database. as a

i don't know how to fix a thing:
when someone writes a post in it, maybe he clicks the enter-button to make a new line or more times to have more blank lines. but this will not happen...only if there will be introduced a "<br> tab" directly in the post. but that's not fun, and the most poster don't even know what's that a br-tab.

an example, if i want to have this message:
-----------------------------------------------------------
Hello,
this a guestbook entry!

Bye!
-----------------------------------------------------------

entries in my guestbook should be written this way if i want them to look like the above:

Code:

Hello,
<br> 
this a guestbook entry!
<br>
<br>
<br>
Bye!

Can you help me fix that?

Thank you!

PHP Code:



$message = "Hello, 
this a guestbook entry! 
 
 
Bye!"; 
$message = str_replace( "\n", "\n<BR>", $message ); 
echo $message

You can also use

PHP Code:



$msg = 'this  
is  
the message'; 
echo nl2br($msg);

This makes the same thing.
