Please, I am currently developing a website. when I include a paragraph (white space) between two sentences and send to the database, it's ignored when selected from the database back to the browser. please, what should I do?

looking forward to hear from you please.

What you need is a WYSIWYG editors... you can checkout tinyMCE or textboxio ..

If TEXT EDITORS are overkill for your project, you can use the php nl2br() function ( http://php.net/nl2br ). like this

<?php

echo nl2br($_POST['textarea']);

?>

or you can use this code i borrowed from stack Over Flow ( http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4523961/paragraphs-in-textarea )

<?php

$textarea = $_POST['textarea'];

$newarr = explode("\n",$textarea);

foreach($newarr as $str) {

echo "<p>".$str."</p>";

}
?>

Happy coding...

Thanks so much bro. I'll try it out.
