[PHP] - replace a enter with <br>

[Evil Penguin]

hi how do you replace

a

enter

with

php

because when it retrives a post from the database and echo's it on the page it removes all the enters e.g.

this

is a

post in the

database

but when its echoed onto the page it does this

this is a post in the database

i've already tried that and it didn't work because i have code in it aswell

echo nl2br("

<div align='center'>

$post

</div>

");

all it does is display nothing on the page

if $post is a variable, then:

echo "<div align='center'>" . nl2br($post) . "</div>";

or even better, there's no need to store the div in the variable, or even parse it with php - e.g:

<div align="center">
<?php echo nl2br($post); ?>
</div>

If that's not what you mean, pastebin the source and we'll have a look (**** any passwords out obviously).

echo '<div align="center">' . nl2br($post) . '</div>';
