storing info in mysql database

[jvv]

This will probably sound stupid, but I'm trying to save some text in a mysql database. But when I retrieve it, the text shows up again, but no longer in paragraphs...

Anyone know how to do this ?

(using PHP4, mySQL)

Do you mean print it out as a html page or the raw text?

What I am doing is accepting text from a form and store it in a database. I want to retrieve the data the way it was sent in, so with paragraphs and stuff... so in a sense, yes, turn it into html.
