Ajax don't send ENTER's to PHP script

[auriaks]

Hi,
I have AJAX form, which sends text to message.php page ans there text is inserted to the mysql.

Here is my message.php


<?php
if (isset($_GET['action'])) {
$nikas = $_GET['nick'];
$zinute = $_GET['zinute'];
$failas = $_GET['failas'];
$time = date("H:i:s");

include $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . '/content/processes/db_conn.php'; //db

$nikas = mysql_real_escape_string($nikas);
$zinute = mysql_real_escape_string($zinute);
$failas = mysql_real_escape_string($failas);
$nikas = mysql_real_escape_string($nikas);

$zinute = str_replace('\r\n','<br \>',$zinute);

if($zinute == '') {
$error .= "Prašome įvesti tekstą.";
}

if(isset($error)) {
echo "$error";
} else {
mysql_query("INSERT INTO `pamoka_zinutes` (Nick, Time, Zinute, failas)
VALUES('$nikas', '$time', '$zinute', '$failas')") or die(mysql_error());
}}

if (isset($_GET['truncate'])) {
include $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . '/content/processes/db_conn.php'; //db
$nikas = $_GET['truncate'];
$nikas = mysql_real_escape_string($nikas);
if ($nikas == 'admin') {
mysql_query("TRUNCATE TABLE `pamoka_zinutes`");
echo "Žinutės ištrintos";} else {echo "Tik mokytojas gali trinti žinutes";}
}
?>


This part should detect ENTER pushing but it doesn't

$zinute = str_replace('\r\n','<br \>',$zinute);

What is wrong?

Thanks for your time.

\n and \r are read literally as the text reads not as "new line" and "return", try using double quotes ".

You may also need to separate them.


$zinute = str_replace("\r", '<br \>', $zinute);
$zinute = str_replace("\n", '<br \>', $zinute);

nl2br() will do that.

I am using
httpObject3.open("GET", "post.php?action="
+document.getElementById('send').value+"&zinute="
+document.getElementById('zinute').value+"&failas="
+document.getElementById('failas').value+"&nick=<?php echo "$nick";?>", true);

in my AJAX script which sends the information to post.php (message.php) page...
Maybe some java will do <br /> effect? I mean doing like this
$zinute = str_replace("\n", '<br \>', $zinute);
