help with php and textarea

hi
I have this code:

PHP Code:


		
			
<?php

if(!$mes)

{

?>

<form method="post">

<textarea name="mes" cols=10 rows=10></textarea>

<input type="submit" value="send">

</form>

<?php

}

else

{

 $mes= str_replace('\n','',$mes);

 echo"$mes";

}

?>

and I am trying to show what I type in the textarea on the screen.

The thing is that I that what I am writing in the textarea to appear in the source of the code in one line even if I am writing more when one line.

As you can see I tried replacing the \n charter white nothing but it didn't work.

Dose someone have an idea?

Thanks.

If you're using PHP v4.1+, then replace $mes with $_POST["mes"]... maybe your PHP ini settings or somethnig... but yeah, as ben said, that code should work fine...

You misunderstood me.

The code works fine but it doesn’t do what I need.

For example:

If I will write in the textarea-

Hello

how are you?

It will appear in the source of the page in three line
but I want it to appear in the source like this:

Hello how are you?

how can I do that?
