Reading from guestbook form 1

[friskhelge]

Hey

This question has probably some extremely simple answer, but I havent managed to find it yet, so here it goes.

I have a guestbook for my webpage, but I can't convert lineshifts fom the form into html-tags (<br>).
Anybody got any help for me here?

hi,

is this would you are looking for:

$test="\nhello\n";
$test=~s/\n/<br>/g;

will convert to:

<br>hello<br>

parkers

[parkers]

sorry ... i should have also mentioned that the following is also true:

$test="

hello

";

applying,

$test=~s/\n/<br>/g;

will result in:

<br><br>hello<br><br>

You could also use the HTML::FromText module.
