Carieage return in TextArea

[ljcharlie]

Is there a way to put a carieage return in textarea? In PHP, I want to echo a cariage return in a TextArea box. Any help is appreciated!

Using \n should work (if you use double quotes for the echo):

<?PHP
echo "<textarea cols=\"25\" rows=\"5\">\n\ntest</textarea>";
?>

Thankyou very much for your help. I'll give that a try.

Sure thing... :)

Sorry to bother you again, but I received an error. This is my code.

<?PHP
$photoOrderd = <?"Photos you ordered are:\n\n";
if ($txtChkBox1 <> ""){
$photoOrderd += .$txtChkBox1."\n";
}
?>
The error I received is:

Parse error: parse error in line 167 which is this line: $photoOrderd += .$txtChkBox1."\n";

Is it the += operator?

I think I found the problem and it has to do with the ". "; however, I do not know how to fix it. I want to add the dot so I can connect multiple variables but it's giving me the error.

change $photoOrderd = <?"Photos you ordered are:\n\n"; to

$photoOrderd = "Photos you ordered are:\n\n";

Make the change that YoN pointed out, and also change:

$photoOrderd += .$txtChkBox1."\n";

to:

$photoOrderd .= $txtChkBox1."\n";
