Hello all,

my problem is the following: I have a page where the user enters some data, let's say :

string1 = 'AGREHREHRHREHRE';
string2 = 'WEFEWGEWGEGEWGEGEGWG';

These data I use in another page, so I use the "<pre>" tag to display what the user has entered. The problem arrives when the user writes something like EWGEGEW EFGEGEW EGRGREGRE RGVFVDSVDS

This string, when I pass it into a variable, it is stored with newlines. I don't want to make any substitution of the newlines, as I want to preserve the spaces in the next page, and display the user's sequence as entered and not with 3 <br>'s, because there were 3 spaces in the original string...
any ideas?

Not really...

Can you show us a working example of this? I could better understand what you want from that. If you want to preserve what the user entered without substituting \n characters with <br /> tags, then I suggest you print the variable in a <textarea> (it will interpret the \n character appropriately).

Do you have some preconceived notion that spaces and newlines are equivalent or that one is presented as the other, aside from during the rendering of the page?
