title: combine 2 variables with a line break and insert into table
body: <p>Can someone advise what i'm doing wrong? or if i'm going the wrong way about it?</p>
  
  <p>I want to concatenate 2 strings from 2 textareas and insert them into a column in my table.</p>
  
  <p>this bit of code is from the send message page, </p>
  
  <p><strong>$msgfull</strong> is the message that the user wishes to send,
  <strong>$msqquote</strong> is the message the user is replying to (displayed in a read only textarea)</p>
  
  <pre><code>$recipient= $_POST['sendto'];
  $subjectmsg= $_POST['subject'];
  $msgfull= $_POST['messagetext'];
  $msgquote= $_POST['replyquote'];
  $date = date('Y-m-d H:i:s');
  
  $replyupdate = $msgfull."\n".$msgquote;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I want to insert $replyupdate into the table. </p>
  
  <p>It works how it is, BUT, it doesn't give me the line break, it just puts it all into one line.</p>
  
  <p>on the View Message page, I want $msgfull to show first, then a line break (or 2) then the $msgquote (original message) to be displayed.</p>
  
  <p>Can anyone advise please?</p>
  
  <p>Note: I am aware of the security issues on my POST data, They are old scripts I am amending and slowly removing all the mysql commands.</p>
