i used pg_escape_string() and received the same
results. the carriage returns are showing up as
stored in the db. when select the data, though, the
carriage returns are replaced with a single space,
regardless if it is one return or 5 returns.

the sql seems to be pretty standard fare...

$sql_notes = "SELECT notes.assembly_notes
FROM t_product prod, t_link_product_assembly_notes
link, t_assembly_notes notes
WHERE link.product_id = prod.product_id
AND link.assembly_notes_id = notes.assembly_notes_id
AND link.product_id = " . $product_id;

i then send the array of values to another page where
this code displays the array...

$i=1;
foreach ($_SESSION['row_notes'] as $row)
{
print $i.". ".$row['assembly_notes']."<hr />";
$i++;
}

does anyone know why my carriage returns are not
displaying when i call the data?

is it because i send the array to another page via the
session variable?
