Open your PHP source file with a text editor, such as Windows Notepad.
Use the 'mysql_query(query)' function to read a TEXT field from the active MySQL database. For example, '$my_result=mysql_query('Select my_var from my_table');' where 'my_var' is a TEXT field.
Use a 'while' loop and the 'mysql_fetch_assoc(my_result)' function to fetch rows from the MySQL result. For example, 'while ($my_values=mysql_fetch_assoc($my_result)) {}'.
Store the TEXT field value in a PHP variable, inside the 'while' loop. For example, '$str = $my_values['my_var'];'.
Use the 'nl2br' function to replace newline '\n' characters with ''. MySQL uses '\n' to signify a newline, but HTML uses ''. For example, 'echo nl2br($str);' will return the TEXT field with proper line breaks.
Save the PHP file.
