Textarea problem

[Redcircle]

use the function nl2br() in the output.

example

echo nl2br($row['body');

What this function does is change all new line chars (\n) to an html <br>

[Redcircle]

put the output within a table with a fixed width

<table width="100"><tr><td>blah blah blah....</td></tr></table>

[Redcircle]

if it were a normal sentence with spaces between the characters it would contrain it within the 100
