PHP && Mysql

mk,

basically what i need to know, lets say you have a mysql table, with a field that contains:

"hi hey yeah wooo

word yo wassup?"

how do i tell php to insert <BR> where there is a new line in that field so that if I echo it, I don't get

"hi hey yeah wooo word yo wassup?"

But rather

"hi hey yeah wooo<BR>
<BR>
word yo wassup?"

(You'll have to excuse my interesting way of explaining things...)

 

in ASP we just replace the the new line character with <br /> .. I'm sure the process is the same or similar in PHP. Look for a replace function.
