Form Input and Display - Line breaks

How to get line breaks in display

[mvaz]

Hello, I have a form on my website that contains a input field for messages and other information to be input. This input is stored in mysql database. However, if a user has a line break in the form, I cannot get the content in the second paragraph when this information is displayed on the browser. Is it possible to get the contents in paragraphs as the user intends?

I have tried this myself with a <br> in the input field and this displays perfectly, but I cannot ask the general users to type the line break attribute when inputting a form.

Any help and suggestions that you esteemed members and administrators provide would be invaluable and I thank you all in advance for your assistance in helping me get this sorted out.

to output the <br> you need to use
nl2br [php.net]
ex: your content is $content, usage: nl2br($content);
