Hi!

I'm doing a simple search and display using PHP and Filemaker. One challenge I have is that carriage returns entered in the Filemaker field is not showing up in the browser. I can detect characters like tabs (t) but not the newline character.

I have tried nl2br, preg_replace( '/rn/', "
", $record->getField("description") ) with no success.

Any advise?

Thanks in advance!

Try:

¶

 - Para Graph Sign i.e. the pilcrow char

 - Line Feed

- carriage return

Or a combination of the last two.

Hi Genx,

Thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately, this doesn't seem to work. And I'm using it in this manner:

$text = $record->getField("description");

$pattern = array('

', "t");

$replace = array('
', '

Hmmm,

I'll try a few things out on Wednesday and get back to you on this if you haven't found a solution yet.

.. In the mean time, try making a calc in FileMaker on your field: Substitute( field ; ¶ ; "
" ) and then retrieving that instead.

If that doesn't work, try using the specified codes for new line and carriage return.

Cheers.
