Could someone help me with this - I've cracked my head since.

When i submit a form and then retrieve the data, there is no paragraphs.

Yes I am aware of HTML encoders like TINYMCE but I'd like to submit in plain text.

I tried htmlentities and htmlspecialchars but nothing works. I just want to see a new paragraph when I've received the data of a submitted form. (a New paragraph after hitting ENTER twice)

Thanx

$output = "";
$array = explode("\r\n\r\n", $_POST['freetext']);
foreach($array as $paragraph)
	$output .= "<p>$paragraph</p>\n";
echo $output;

Even you can also use the <br/> tag to break the paragraph.

Even you can use nl2br function during displaying it.

e.g. <td><?php echo nl2br($address);?></td>
