Field Type? Help Please

[croman]

I have a form on a website that allows users to enter a Journal. They can type as much as they want.

I have set the field type to TEXT

Here is the problem

If they enter something like
This
is
my
Journal


It will go into the database as that, but when I call it back out it is retrieved as
This is my Journal
Without the linebreaks

Is there a different field type I should use? I want to keep linebreaks and such that they enter

Thanks

you have to replace \n with <br />
in your page that displays the data
just search google or sitepoint
and i'm sure you'll find the function you need

if you're using php, i suggest searching the php forum
