Trying to pull HTML code from FM using the PHP API...???

[angelleye]

I've got a little app setup that generates an auction description using a dynamic template that pulls data from FM using the PHP API.

I have a field in FM called Web_Page_Description that is being used to pull the basic description for use within in the description area of our auction template.

The Web_Page_Description field is a basic text field. The problem is I can't seem to make it hold any formatting no matter what I do.

If we paste information into this field from a web page it does its best to hold the formatting inside FM. Line breaks seem to work out, it even changes bullets into #'s.

But then when I pull this field into an application via the PHP API none of the formatting gets held. Everything displays on my page as a single long paragraph all smashed together.

Even if I add HTML into the field it just displays the HTML tags.

Any information on how I can make this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
