Line Breaks In Php Email Forms
my email form works great, but when I get the data in the email it's not double spaced and I want there to be room between each thing of data. This is what it looks like now: Name: Email: And I want it to look like this: Name: Email: When I open up my email so that my data doesn't look so clustered. How do I do this?
Detecting Line Breaks In A Text Area?
This is really frustrating... I have a form in which there is a text area for people to post comments on the site. I'm hoping that people will take the time to fill out reasonable length responses which my spread over two or more paragraphs. My problem lies there; it might spread over two paragraphs... I know I can use 'special character(s)' which the user can put in that I can then do a ereg_replace() to put the <p> or <br> tags in but I would prefer that they didn't have to... like for instance in this forum I've tried to see whether there are any line breaks or something in the textarea when a carriage return has been made but I can't seem to pick anything up, has anybody managed to come up with a solution to this?
Removing Line Breaks In Reading Text File
When I read in a text file seperated by | delimiter, all is well except in the case of data posted to that text file from a Textarea within a Form. When the user hits the Return key once, a new line is ultimately created in the final file read; when the user does a 2nd or subsequent CR, there are multiple blank lines on the file as it is echoed into a web page (in fact, 7 <BR>s in a row). I've tried str_replace to no effect ...is it a PHP error or is it something logical I've missed. Lines 5a, 5b, 5c, 5d are the results of a Textarea submission - they aer all one field - that have been seperated by a carriage return in an html form posting to a text file: Code:
Losing Line Breaks When Using A Form To Supply Email Content
I have created a form which has a large textarea into which I paste the contents of a plain text email. The email script works fine, however when I receive the email I have lost all line breaks in the email! I can get rid of them with HTML email, but I don't want to exclude possibles without HTML enabled mail clients.
Line Breaks In PDF
I am trying to create PDF-s using PDFLIB. This works fine, as long as the printed text does not exceed one line. I cannot create a linebreak, so when I use the code below, the text seems to run of the screen.

(H) In Line Breaks
I have a cell phone with full internet access. I have an HTML page that I wrote specifically for use on my cell phone. It uses PHP's fopen() to open files on my server and then displays the contents of the file I opened using a <textarea>. This allows me to update my site from my cell phone. It works fine from a browser on my computer, but when I use it to open a file from my cell phone, all the line breaks are preceded by this character that looks like a copywrite symbol, but with an (H). Extended ASCII 233 according to http://www.asciitable.com . I write the pages in Dreamweaver MX initially, which gives me a few options about how to write line breaks (either for Linux, Windows, or Mac; CR, LF, CR LF) but I need my files to work on all three of my operating systems, since I use a Mac a home, a PC at school, and my server is Linux. I'm guessing that my computer is writing CR LF and my cell phone is interpreting it using a different character set where 233 means this (H) thing instead of CR. But how can I get rid of these characters? Possibly, could I use PHP to check the user-agent of the client to find out whether it's a cell phone, then replace all CRLFs with just LFs? And would I need to put them back in afterwards? If so, how?
Line Breaks
This questions relates to inserting data into a mysql database through a php interface that uses a normal html form... If I press return a couple times to make a new paragraph when filling out the text field, it never puts those line breaks into the database.. it always returns the data as one long paragraph.. How do I make it so that when a user presses return in the form, the output of data from the database knows there are supposed to be line breaks there??
Line Breaks Using PHP
I have a PHP script that I need debugging. Below is part of a script I have going. It bascially outputs what has been entered in the form field. Currently, it outputs a long line with no breaks. How can I add paragraph breaks after 25 words or so?
Line Breaks
I need to append a string of data as a new line in a static file. Basically what I'm doing is pulling IP's and adding them to htaccess as "not allowed". I start with a read file as append my master list (that has everything for the htaccess except the last line "allow from all"), append the string of data, then save/close that file. The problem is, everytime it is saved the line breaks are displayed as little "boxes" as demonstrated in this screenshot: This also happens when I simply copy a file that I know is displaying the line breaks correctly, and also if I simply RENAME a working file. All the line breaks get screwed up as those boxes! I know my code is working as I tried it on another PHP5 server running windows professional with apache 2. I've tried everything from string replace in dreamweaver by hitting the "enter" key as the item to replace inside double quotes, to opening the PHP file in notepad and copy/pasting that "box" as the thing to string replace. Incidentally, if I open the notepad file I just did that to in dreamweaver it displays the same way visually as if I hit the enter key (a lot of white space and the string is spread across two lines visually).. I've even tried force encoding the page as UTF-8 but nothing seems to work. All the output displays as a single line of code. It APPEARS to work if I output the file as an html file and view it with my browser, but this is useless as a view-source shows a single line of garbled text still. It appears this is some type of server setup issue and I don't know what to do. I'm running PHP5 with mysql4 on a Plesk 8.0 redhat server.

How do i retain paragraph breaks when inserted into a sql database through a text field without the user having to manually input tags??
Line Breaks
I am having some trouble with converting html code to real line breaks in a textarea, I have the following code that I gets html code from a database and then puts it into a textarea but the str_replace I am using converts the text but puts the actual characters in the textarea, and doesn't actually turn it into a linebreak. (the br below is reality in triangular brackets!) $paragraph=$row['paragraph']; $paragraph=str_replace('br',' ',$paragraph); ..... <textarea name="ud_text" cols="50" rows="15" maxlength="300"><? echo $paragraph ?></textarea> Perhaps someone can help me with this?
Converting Line Breaks To <br /> And <p> </p>
I'm working on a blogging platform, and I'm struggling with the final output (what the end users/web visitor sees). I've got to the stage where the data stored in the database in 100% correct. My problem is converting line breaks to <br /> and <p></p>. An example database stored entry: <h2>A Testing title!</h2> A list: <ul> <li>Item 1</li> <li>Item 2</li> <li>Item 3</li> </ul> Another paragraph. This is how I'd like it to be displayed to viewers: <h2>A Testing title!</h2> <p>A list:</p> <ul> <li>Item 1</li> <li>Item 2</li> <li>Item 3</li> </ul> <p>Another paragraph.</p> I've tried: nl2br and replacing double '<br />' to '</p><p>', but this messes up the HTML lists and sometimes H tags. What I really want is a nl2br function that doesn't work between block level elements.
Question Re Line Breaks
for line breaks in the message body for correct display in Windows email clients. If the send fails [mail() = false], I save the message to an XML file, and attempt a re-send later. Is it OK to save the body with line breaks, or will this mess up reading the file later with fgets()? How does fgets() deal with line breaks?
Textarea Line Breaks Without Using <p>?
When submitting from a <textarea> within a form, line breaks are irrelevant - you can put every word on a separate line, and they'll all end up together. At the moment I'm asking people using my article submission system to insert a <p> at the start of each new paragraph - but aside from being a pain, non HTML-literate users don't understand why they have to do it... So.. what's the best way to convert line breaks into <br> tags using PHP? Like this forum does, for example?
Line Breaks Using Php Str_replace
im building a pm system and i cant quite figure out how to make it recognize line breaks. a good ex is using vbulletin. when u fill out teh message it remembers all your line breaks and outputs them as such. but when i made the pm system it bunches all the different lines into 1 long line.
PHP Line Breaks Not Showing
I am starting to learn php and I am alraedy struggeling with the basics. My PHP program is not showing any Line Breaks :-( I wrote a program "test.php". Instead of doing line breaks, he is doing everything in one line. I tried it on my local Windows machine with Apache installed as well as on my Webhoster's server. <?php echo " line 1 line 2 line 3"; echo nl2br ("line A"); echo nl2br ("line B"); echo nl2br ("line B"); ?> I start to feel stupid. Anybody an idea?
How Do I Make Line Breaks Without <br />??

Line Breaks In Forms
i have noticed that when a user is typing in a form, when they do a line break line 1 line 2 line 3 it displays as line 1rn line 2rn line 3rn, i did this: $comments = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST["comments"]); $comments = stripslashes($comments); not sure if i have done that right it stll displays the same and advice would be great.
Line Breaks In Variables?
I'm using this line to send an email... mail($email2, "XXXX.com: Registration- Thank you.", $body, $headers); Now the variable $body is quite long and needs to be formated.. so i tried this: $body = "Welcome This is a test 1)blahblah 2)blahblah"; Where the outcome i would expect is: Welcom This is a test 1)blahblah 2)blahblah.. obviously isn't formatting with ' '... any other ways to format in variables or am i chasing a ghost?
Line Breaks In MySQL Fields
I've made my first project as a searchable database of song tracks and lyrics. I'm storing all the data, including full lyrics for each track in a MySQL table. The problem is that I can't put each line of the lyrics onto a new line in the database field. I'm using phpMyAdmin, and when I put each line of the lyrics on a new line they are simply run together as one long single line when stored. I need it to be saved in the database with new lines, so it can just be easily printed out onto a page already broken up into verses. The only other alternative I can think up is using <br> tags within the data, but I don't want users to be presented with all the results when they search for <br>.
Line Breaks When Reading A File
Consider the code: $arrText = file ("http://www.site.com/page.htm"); for ($i=0; $i<count($arrText); i++) { echo("$arrText[$i] "); } (I did not test the snippet for errors) The line breaks appear to be different from the original .htm file. Why?
Removal Of Line Breaks In Strings
I was looking through the php manual and the closest thing I can find that will do this is the nl2br() command, but this will only get me so far. My dilema is this: I have a <textarea> (among other things) in a form that is submitted to a PHP formhandler. The formhandler then takes all the variables gathered from the form and compiles them in a string, and then spits it out to a text file. I want the text file to be all one line, but <br> tags are allowed (enter the nl2br() command) but that still leaves the linebreaks in the string. I was looking at the strtr() command but I dont know if a linebreak has a specific character I can change to a <BR> tag, thus eliminating the nl2br command.
How To Remove Multiple Line Breaks?
I'm am trying to remove multiple line breaks (" "). Here's my code: $imageStr = trim($_POST['images']); $imageStr = str_replace(" ", " ", $imageStr); ---------- $_POST['images'] is a textarea field, and I am trying to remove extra hard returns that a user types into the text area. When I change the code to: $imageStr = str_replace(" ", "%", $imageStr); it works fine. So I know the function works and I have the right character (" ").
Validating Line Breaks In A Textarea
Well I stared writing all my eregi() validation today. Everything works fine except for the textarea validate for a business description. I allow the business to have multiple l lines in their description. I can't seem to get it to work. Basically I am just validating it to make sure no one can type in javascript or other code and have the server run it. Am I being to paranoid ? If not, how in the heck do you validate line breaks?
Putting In Line Breaks In A While Loop?
im trying to run a while loop that puts in breaks ( ) when 3 pictures have been displayed. <?php while($catListRow = mysql_fetch_array($searchQuery)){ echo "<p><a href='gallery.php?action=3&no=".$catListRow['download_id']."&cat=".$catListRow['download_cat']."'><img src='".$catListRow['download_url']."' height='100' alt='".$catListRow['download_title']."' /></a></p>"; } ?> as the code are at the moment it just prints out all the pictures in one long line. How do i get the script to put in a line break everytime 3 pictures have been printed?
Displaying Line Breaks From MySQL Data
when i retrieve data from a MySQL database which i have put line breaks in they do not show in html, i understand that this is because HTML ignores spaces unless they are formatted as i know i could use the <pre> tag to show it as it was given, which removes all styling from the text, i need to convert the breaks in MySQL into <br> or <br><br> (to start a new paragraph)
Any Way Of Removing Line Breaks From HTML Code?
I have a big big chunk of HTML code stored inside a variable $myhtml. Is there any way I can possibly remove all line breaks in the HTML? I tried $myhtml = str_replace(' ', '', $myhtml); but it doesn't work.
Line Breaks Written To File Do Not Show Up.

Using Nl2br To Add Line Breaks In Textarea Field
I'm trying to maintain line breaks when a user adds information to a textarea field. Now, this is fairly straight forward, but I've run into a few problems I'm sure someone here could fix up pretty quickly. Below is how I;m currently using nl2br: $row->custom1 = ampReplace( nl2br($row->custom1) ); $row->custom2 = ampReplace( nl2br($row->custom2) ); $row->custom3 = ampReplace( nl2br($row->custom3) ); Now this works ok, as it adds the required line breaks to the field. The problem occurs when a user makes additional changes to the form and resubmits it. Now it adds an additional line break to the form, so it now appears with two carriage returns. If he/she re-edits it, there would be three tags. So my question is twofold: 1. How can I use nl2br (or some other method) to maintain line break within a text area field without displaying the tag when the form is re-edited? 2. How can I avoid multiple line breaks when the form is edited and re-submitted? I apologize if this has been touched on before. I begin all posts by first searching previous posts, but I either did not find what I was looking for, or failed to understand what was being explained.
How Do You Hack Mail() To Get Around Outlook's Removal Of Line Breaks
Outlook has a default setting that removes certain line breaks ( ) from text messages. This setting can be found under tools > options > email options > 'Remove Extra Line Breaks In Plain Text Documents' (for Outlook 2003). This is problematic because I need WYSIWYG input areas for clients to set how their email will look. Microsoft really should have never violated the WYSIWYG rule for text email. If you want to try this for yourself, use php mail() to mail yourself the following sample text : $msg = "This is a sample sentence ---Sample sentence number 2 ---Sample sentence number 3 Sept 2005 each ---Sample sentence number 4"; When I receive this email in outlook, the line break after ‘each’ is clipped making the email look like a mess (unless I uncheck line break setting in outlook). Microsoft even talks about this bug here : url Does anybody know of a way to send php text messages without encountering this issue. That or does anybody know the exact algorithm Microsoft uses to determine when and when not to clip new lines?
Email Messages With Odd Breaks
I'm creating a PHP form handler that will send an email to a user based on form entries (a rather standard procedure). I've never had any problems with this type of programming challenge before; however, this is a very complex form. I save all of the form's data in a single variable named $mailout and then call the mail() function with $mailout as the body. The information I'm sending is about 1200 characters long. I noticed that in the email the user receives, there is an odd break at about character 1000. It reads something like this: Style: Red tu! dor with attached garage Everything else looks correct. The first 1000 characters are right and any remaining characters are right. It's just at about character 1000 I get an exclamation point and then the data continue on the next line (with a small indent). I thought that maybe there was some sort of limit to the size of the PHP variable, so I broke $mailout into two pieces, both well under the magic size limit. That did not help. I thought that maybe the mail() function was somehow breaking up this message, so I created a small routine to write the output directly to sendmail. That didn't help. I wonder if this is a sendmail issue. Does anyone know of any reason why I'm getting this odd break in my messages and how I can fix it?
Text Box Breaks?
i have a simple code that echo's text within a textbox after submit. but it just puts it all together, it dosn't keep the lines! like if the person pressed "Enter" like 4 times it wouldn't matter, it just puts it into 1 jumble. how do i fix that? <form method="post"> <textarea id="text1" name="text1" rows="10" cols="30"></textarea> <input name="add" type="submit" id="add" value="Add"> </form> <?php if(isset($_POST['add'])) { $text1 = $_POST['text1']; $text2 = htmlentities($text1); echo $text2; } ?>
How To Return Just First-line From A Multi-line String Of Text?
I've been looking through the manual for string commands, and I haven't had success in determining the proper call for this, if there is one: Let's say I have a text string with hard-carriage returns in it: "The lazy brown fox ran down the road to the store and bought some eggs to bake a cake and serve dinner for all his friends." So if that string value is in "x", how can I tell it to return JUST the first line: "The lazy brown fox ran down the road"
Read Text File Line By Line
I have been given a textfile which contains data on 1000 businesses. Each line contains a name and a code which are seperated by a comma. The code below allows me to display the entire textfile but I want to read in the values from each line and store these in a database. $filename = "businesses.txt"; $fileToOpen = fopen($filename,"r"); $content = fread($fileToOpen, filesize($filename)); $content = nl2br($content); fclose($fileToOpen); echo($content); Does anyone know how I can read the data in line by line so that I can store it in a database.
Long URL With Query String For Use On Text Emails Breaks At '+'
I am trying to send members of a site periodic emails containing links back to the site. I will use HTML and text email but in the text email I have to display the whole ugly URL in order for it to hyperlink. This is OK until I encounter a text field with more than one word. I have tried urlencoding, but the link as displayed on the email is always broken at the '+' sign between 2 words, and doesn't lead anywhere useful. Code:
Append Text At End Of Existing Text On Same Line
I'm working on a part of my web site that uploads images, then writes the name of the image to a text file. The upload part works fine. The part that writes the name of the image to the text file works fine. What I'm trying to do is, after all the files have been uploaded and all of the image names have been written to the WriteTo.txt file, append a written description of the picture at the end of the picture name. In other words, after a user uploads their pictures to the server I want to direct them to a page where they can label each of the pictures using a form. PHP Code:
Line Break In Email
When using the mail() call, I formatted the message with " " for new lines. The text of the email ran together without line breaks. I also tried " " and that also didn't work. The email reader I am using is Outlook Express and is set to plain text. I checked the manual and it says to use " ".
Line Break In Text Box To < Br >
I made a little form that allows me to post news. When submit is hit, it just writes to an html file. I want to know, if i make a line break in the text box when im entering news, how can i make that carry over to a < br > tag.
Line Return In Text Box
I have a text box where users type whatever. Anyways, I am using stripslashes() and posting the contents to mysql table as TEXT. Every where I have used br it echos the newline plus rn, which i assume is supposed to be with the slashes removed. So I don't have to input br everytime I press enter, how can I catch when the enter key is pressed and output a new line, like the way this forum is doing it?
Selecting A Line Of Text
I'm trying to display a bunch of lines of text one line at a time, like a code printout, and allow the user to select one of the lines by clicking on it. Obviously, the displaying part isn't so hard. But i'm not sure how to select and highlight a whole line with a single click, or how to figure out which line has been selected afterwards. How does one normally do something like this?
New Line In Text File
I'm trying to create a text file in php to generate a playlist. The problem is that I cannot manage to create a new line in the text file. Using /n still places text in the same line and just inserts a symbol to indicate the 'new line'. Using just works when viewing the document in HTML (which is not what i need in this case). But what I want is to physically insert a new line in the text file so that when i open the generated file using notepad i see that there are actually new lines in the document and so that the playlist can be read normally with a music player.
How To Edit A Line In A Text File
i have a text file (just testing php) which stores about 10 lines where each line represents a user request. how do i edit that line to allow the user to edit the $bookwanted ? the lines below shows my display info for the user. $file=file('logindata.txt'); foreach($file as $line){ list($bookwanted,,$user,$pass,$acct,$email,$amt,$date)=explode('|',$line); if (($username == $user) && ($password == $pass) ) { // display info for that particular user }
