| Hi,
I want to be able to display the contents of a field, stored in a mySQL
table, to be displayed as it was entered (ie. with the carriage returns in
place).
At the moment when i display the contents of the field it puts it into one
continuous sentance.
Regards,
Neil.

Either output the text as-is between PRE tags, or use the nl2br()
function to convert the newlines to BR tags.

Only when displayed in a browser as HTML. Either display as text, or
replace line-breaks with <BR>.
