Echo respecting mysql line break

Question

I would like to know how to make the echo PHP respect the line break of a text in the database.

Answer 1

Try using the function nl2br()

PHP documentation:

nl2br - Inserts HTML line breaks before all newlines in one string

Changes to the following:

<?php echo nl2br($row['descricao']); ?>
