Well, maybe I'm not certain. I hit the Return key in the email form. In all the other scripts I've used /n and it worked fine. I've tried /n and /r and neither work. I'm stumped. Here's what I'm doing.
Message field as it appears in database:
This is a test message.
This is line 2 of test message.
#This is how I'm getting it from the database...
$SQL="SELECT * FROM table WHERE name = '$name'";
&Do_SQL;
$pointer = $sth->fetchrow_hashref;
$message = $pointer->{'message'};
$message =~ s/\n/\<br\>/g;
Output:
This is a test message. This is line 2 of test message.
If I View Source it shows:
This is a test message.
This is line 2 of test message.
I'm wondering if I have to do something special before it gets stuffed in the database, but I don't think so. I'm doing it the same way I always have.
