Adding a line break in MySQL INSERT INTO text

Question

Could someone tell me how to add a new line in a text that I enter in a MySql table?

I tried using the \'\\n\' in the line I entered with INSERT I

Answer 1

1. You have to replace \n with
before inset into database.

   $data = str_replace("\n", "
", $data);

   In this case in database table you will see
instead of new line.

   e.g.

   First Line
Second Line

   will look like:

   First Line
Second Line

2. Another way to view data with new line. First read data from database. And then replace \n with
e.g. :

   echo $data;
$data = str_replace("\n", "
", $data);
echo "

" . $data;

   output:

   First Line Second Line

First Line
Second Line
