I'm using a script to extract stories from a MySQL database, and I was wondering if there is a way to preserve new lines. Would I need to do anything before the stories are put into the database? Thanks!

Not 100% what you are asking, but perhaps you need nl2br() (http://www.php.net/nl2br)... Note that if that is what you are looking for, you'll want to use it when you pull the data from the database rather than when you put the data into the DB.

Thank you very much! That's exactly what I was looking for.
