Hello,

I'm in the process of validating my HTML Form with PHP Validation.

One of the strings that is being posted (set as $address) is an address field, and when someone types in the textarea:

123 Test Road
Test Town
Test City
TE5 TPC

It needs to be validated into:

123 Test Road, Test Town, Test City, TE5 TPC

Before the SQL query begins.

Can anyone help me?
Regards,
Tom

Take a look at this link were you will see the escape chars: http://www.tizag.com/phpT/strings.php[^]

Take a look at this one were the replace function is explained:

See this as it is doing exactly what you want:
