Sorry for the double post; I forgot to use the code format so my linebreak html got eaten. But in the line I’ve added, between the double quotation marks is supposed to be a br.

Like some of the posters, originally I could not figure out how to preserve line breaks because I actually have very little coding knowledge. But I’ve found the solution here:

http://mu.wordpress.org/forums/topic/14096

The solution used is str_replace(). I’ve looked through his code, then looked up the php manual and found that chr(13).chr(10) represents a line break.

So after your line 15:
$blog_content = mysql_result($query_result, 0, “post_content”);

I’ve added this line:
$blog_content=str_replace(chr(13).chr(10), “”, $blog_content);

which replaces those two characters with a line break, subsequently properly formatting the post.

Hope this helps.

Hi there. I added your code to my site’s index page so I could display post excerpts there but the post date display is not displaying. The “more” permalink is also not working even though I didn’t change any of the permalink PHP. Plus I decided I did want the display to have some of the blog content, so I took out the “strip the HTML” tag and it didn’t change anything. What should I do?

Hiya,
I have used this code to great success on a client’s site to display their latest blog post, however, a very strange thing has occured, using the EXACT code from this page, and from the WORKING client page, I have tried to replicate this on my own webpage:

http://www.baysickdesign.com/SiteTest/

however, now on my own server, I recieve these error messages:

Warning: mysql_numrows(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in /usr/home/w10134/domains/baysickdesign.com/public_html/SiteTest/index.php on line 17

Warning: mysql_result(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in /usr/home/w10134/domains/baysickdesign.com/public_html/SiteTest/index.php on line 28

I am absolutley stumped as to why its working on one site but not my own!

Can anyone help with this? Thanks!

Justin

Hi, I have also implemented this code and it works magic. Question? How do i get line breaks or paragraph to show as it is on the blog? better yet, how do i get a short form so that someone can click read more?

As it is, it brings the entire post without line breaks.

Help.
