Pursue Chapter 12 (#4)

[Lynae 2]

I am working on #4 pursue (chapter 12):

convert newline characters into HTML break tags:

 

It looks like I need to use the n12br but I can't get it to work in my view_entry.php. I thought I could simple add this code after the print below but it doesn't work. Many examples that I found show using the echo but I tried that and it doesn't work either. Any suggestions?

 

 

while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($r)){

print n12br("<p><h3>{$row['title']}</h3>

{$row['entry']}<br />

<a href=\"edit_entry.php?id={$row['entry_id']}\">Edit</a>

<a href=\"delete_entry.php?id={$row['entry_id']}\">Delete</a>

</p><hr />\n");

You have the function name wrong; it should be nl2br(), not n12br(). That's a lower-case L, not the digit one. Read it as "nEW lINE to brEAK"

 

Typography can mess you up sometimes...

Thank you! It works!

You're welcome. With some fonts it's tough to tell a lower-case L from a one from a capital i.
