<div>
your suggestion works but i dont know if what im trying to do is correct or good practise but i was trying to cut corners and use the same varable for storing info into db aswell as on screen by using the attached code. i can get the DB to remove it and it works fine, but still displays on screen with the \r\n<br />
<br />
<br />

<pre><code class="code-1 nolinks" id="code-276904"><span>$decision1=mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['decision']);</span>
</code></pre>
</div>


<div>
I suggest you keep escaped information &nbsp;in db and remove it from client side(php scripting) if needed

I have recently started using tinymce to allow users to nicely format comments, rather than simple text areas. I have used the mysql escape command on all POSTED values, but now im finding im getting the escaped information for new line and paragraphs, &nbsp; &nbsp; ie \r\n<br />
is there anyway i can filter this out by using some other command?<br />

PHP is a widely-used server-side scripting language especially suited for web development, powering tens of millions of sites from Facebook to personal WordPress blogs. PHP is often paired with the MySQL relational database, but includes support for most other mainstream databases. By utilizing different Server APIs, PHP can work on many different web servers as a server-side scripting language.
