Are you doing anything with the content before you put it in the db or before you put it back in the textarea?

Thanks so much. That worked.

When you say.<br />
<i>It also helps with normalizing your database and not having unnecessary large fields.</i><br />
Do you mean it is better to break up the address name, street, city etc. to store into database? <br />
<br />
I will be copying the postal address from an email and inputting it myself into a form to store in database. Then print it to a webpage.

Whichever works the best and easiest for you. &nbsp;If all you are doing is storing the address with no intention of doing anything else with the data then keep on storing it in one field.

My form textarea has wrap=&quot;hard&quot;. I input into database and then retrieve and echo it page. It dose not wrap. I changed table field type from varchar to text, but still it echo's back as one long string. This is a postal address. How do I go about doing this? Thanks.<br />
<br />
Instead of using textarea, should the input be 3 or 4 fields.? Name, street, city, state, zip etc.

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.

A scripting language is a programming language that supports scripts, programs written for a special run-time environment that automate the execution of tasks that could alternatively be executed one-by-one by a human operator. Scripting languages are often interpreted (rather than compiled). Primitives are usually the elementary tasks or API calls, and the language allows them to be combined into more complex programs. Environments that can be automated through scripting include software applications, web pages within a web browser, the shells of operating systems (OS), embedded systems, as well as numerous games. A scripting language can be viewed as a domain-specific language for a particular environment; in the case of scripting an application, this is also known as an extension language.
