You can also put your code between <pre></pre> tags (pre-formatted text) I do this to display pre formatted text in text area boxes .... <h3 class="nomargin"><?php print($rowart->title); // article title ?></h3> By: <?php print($rowart->name); //article author ?><br> Published: <?php print($rowart->publish); //article date ?><br> <?php $thebody = $rowart->body; // results of the article query from the DB $thebody = ereg_replace(chr(10).chr(13), "</p>\n<p>", $thebody); // paragraph seperations // replace <pre> tages with <textarea> tags $thebody = ereg_replace("<pre>", "<textarea cols=\"80\" rows=\"10\" wrap=\"off\">", $thebody); $thebody = ereg_replace("</pre>", "</textarea>", $thebody); // print the article out with formatting in place. print("<p>\n" . $thebody . "\n</p>\n"); ?> HTH! -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
