Textarea Formatting - Site Owners Forums

wryfhk22 · 10-11-2011, 02:50 AM

I have a text area for a site I'm working on. I am using PHP with the echo function to send the user to a new page that displays what they inserted into the textarea once they press submit.

Here is the problem: when it is echoed to the new page, there is no formatting. So, if the user presses enter and tab and such it comes out in just a long straight line.

I tried the white-space options in CSS and that didn't work.

It may be something i have to do in PHP. If so maybe some of you know what I can do there but if it is just an HTML or a CSS thing I'd appreciate the help.
