Question

i am using
so it suppose to go to the next line in my text are but
instead of going to the next line it just prints
anybody knows y?

Answer 1

is html code, the text area as far as i know understands
as ordinary text.

The php processor however does understand "\n" as I must goto the next line . I am no expert(in fact I just started learning php a few months ago ) but I used your code for one of my databases and just changed the "
" to "\n" and it worked.

You can also use "\r", "\r" tells php to insert a carriage return,
which is similar to new line. I am not 100% sure that \r and \n are the same thing, but both will work for your script.

Answer 2

Replace "
" with "\n".
