Matt,

What you are looking for is a supported feature of PHP (and one I have come to know well).

You want the nl2br() command.

What this command does is take new lines (hence the "nl") and changes them to the new line html code.

Use: $new_string = nl2br($string_to_change);

Hope that helped.

Yeah, that is just about what I want....Maybe I can find where they do it in vBulletin or ask a developer

I think he is saying that he is making a script so people can fill in a form to submit articles and he wants them to be able to submit them without having to use HTML. He wants the script to auto format the text so for example when they want to move onto a new line the just press [enter] and they don't have to type

You may not realise it but boards like UBB and VB use this so your text is displayed as you type it. You don't need to use code (except vBcode in some cases) to format simple messages.

I don't know if I have explained what he wants any better than he did already. I cannot help you, Matt, I am only a learner like you. I'm just beginning to get to grips with the basics.
