Newlines in Textarea from/to database

[Yves Vindevogel <yv...@implements.be>]

Hi,

How can I send the "newline" characters from an HTML textarea (when you
press enter in a textarea, you get a new line) to my database and get the
back out ?

I am using <PostgreSQL 7.3.1 on i686-pc-linux-gnu, compiled by GCC 2.96> and
new lines work fine for me without any further options.
Anyway, though I don't think it has influence on the "\n"s in the textarea,
I'd like to mention that I use accept-charset="ISO-8859-1" in my form-tag and
the database I am currently working on is ISO-8859-15 (LATIN9).

Have you ever checked if the request parameter is transmitted properly by
putting a textarea on the second page and printing out the value of the request
parameter in it?
(<textarea name="textarea2"><xsp-request:get-parameter
name="textarea1"/></textarea>)

Bye
Jürgen
