I hope my answer meet your expectation. Basically text area consider a white space as carriage returns and it will not rendered in HTML.<br /> However you can use nl2br() function to show the line break in HTML to your output. You can refer to this :</p> <p><a href="http://www.plus2net.com/php_tutorial/line-breaks.php" rel="nofollow">http://www.plus2net.com/php_tutorial/line-breaks.php</a></p> <p>But if you consider to save "break" tags in database, you should edit your "post-functions.php" file, try to search around line 201. You will see this code :</p> <pre><code>$table_data[$element_name] = $element_data;</code></pre> <p>replace it with </p> <pre><code>if ($form_id == 23 &#38;&#38; $element_id == 2) { $table_data[$element_name] = nl2br($element_data) ; } else { $table_data[$element_name] = $element_data; }</code></pre> <p>in there i assume your paragraph text in form 23 with element id = 2 </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/upload-text-in-html#post-4348 Wed, 21 Jan 2009 03:48:40 +0000 rscott7706 4348@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>Hey redityo,</p> <p>I mislead you.</p> <p>What I meant to say was that when typed in to the form and submitted, hard returns don't show up in the database (so my reference to "html tags").</p> <p>Here is a sample:</p> <p><a href="http://www.lakesideca.com/chamber/chamber_events/chamber_events.php" rel="nofollow">http://www.lakesideca.com/chamber/chamber_events/chamber_events.php</a></p> <p>When entering the text in Machform (Paragraph Text), I put:</p> <p>Test<br /> Hard return<br /> Test<br /> Hard Return </p> <p>It shows up on the website as:<br /> Test Hard return Test Hard Return </p> <p>I hope I was more clear this time.</p> <p>Ron </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/upload-text-in-html#post-4339 Tue, 20 Jan 2009 13:10:19 +0000 redityo 4339@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>Hi Ron,</p> <p>What HTML tag do you use ? I try with '&lt;br&gt;' , '&lt;P&gt;' tags it not stripped out. It give me same result with my paragraph text input. </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/upload-text-in-html#post-4337 Tue, 20 Jan 2009 07:44:22 +0000 rscott7706 4337@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>I searched for an answer on this, hope I am not asking something that has been answered before.</p> <p>On a text paragraph field...</p> <p>I would like some forms to upload the text to database with html tags. As it uploads now and populates the database, all tags are stripped out.</p> <p>So for instance:</p> <p>This is text.<br /> This is text.</p> <p>Becomes:<br /> This is text.This is text.</p> <p>What I would like to see is:<br /> This is text. This is text.</p> <p>Is there a work around for this?</p> <p>Thanks!!<br /> Ron </p>
