My continuing Text Area problems..
The problem is that I have a text area for entering a “resume”. I’ve instructed the users to copy and paste their document from word to keep the formatting, which are all well and good. The program I’ve written will send the completed profile to their email address. Where the document looks fine, all formatted, but if I use the print or echo on the site to display the variable it seems to scruch all the words together and throw out all the tabs and spaces.
How can I preserve spaces and tabs in the variable?
